ooooh! bet that was a day you wished for no (voice) phone line in and a
steel door filled w/ dirt!!! >VBG> I have days like that when I just
want to unplug everyone usually after being on the wrong end of a 36hr
day .. when I've done something really dumb that seems as if is
*shuold* fix the problem ( and at that hour of my body "uptime" it
often seems to glaringly obvious that this is the solution, I dont test
.. (fugget! I'll catchem tomorrow) Invariablely it works all too well
and w/o the sand in the door the screems could probably be heard at any
end of the world one might try to be hidebernating! Steel , keeps them
from doing much more than dent or skratch it ( hinges on the inside
people) , AND the sand also makes it the devil to move, even w/ a crowd
behind it.
