Fortunately, a newbie like myself is only considered perpetrating fifth column activities. It's first when you are an experienced user that you get labeled as a hardcore terrorist ;-) BTW, a conservative think tank called the "Alexis de Tocqueville Institution"? Isn't that a misnomer? After all, he was quite critical of the direction he felt that the US was moving in (both politically and socially). If he had written his critique today, he would be considered to be anti-American because: 1) He was French and you can NEVER trust the French ;-) 2) He spoke and wrote in more than one language (you never know what these foreigners are saying behind your back) ;-) 3) Criticism is fundamentally anti-American. Loyal criticism doesn't exist. Hail to Big Brother Gates and the politically correct party line ;-) Cheers, Brian
