It was in Georgia. I had moved there from North Carolina for the job. I am now in the Norfolk VA area, in case anyone has a job opening! ***(WARNING, the next paragraph describes a personal opinion)*** I can not comment on law or enforcement. From a personal note it occurred to me on a drive home one morning that I have the power to choose, i.e. I should not need a law to protect me from making my own choice. Make of that whatever you will. ***(Now resuming factual mode)*** While the experience has been difficult, some positive things have come of it. My perspectives regarding values and priorities have changed drastically, and I believe for the better. And oddly enough, I believe it has been good for our marriage overall. At least I am sure that she didn't marry me just for my money! Regarding my original post, I am not easily offended, and am not at all concerned with being offended.. All is good here. I _MAY_ be a bit cautious in expressing opinions, but you must admit, offering opinions to a bunch of engineers can be a bit contentious. In the absence of hard science, things here can get turbulent. (That was said with a smile, and I hope received as such) :) Lyle --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
