*chuckle* *blush* Well that's partly why I pasted the URI, so someone 
who doesn't have a hangover would notice the difference. My comment now 
becomes a complaint, and reads: Why create such similar paths? Surely 
the intention of interfaces to computers is that they avoid this sort of 
potential confusion. I do gather there is some sort of standard (even if 
it be de facto) that disagrees with me, but maybe the standard shouldn't 
be what it is. I know, it's a pie-in-the-sky complaint.

Move along folks, shows over, nothing to see here.
Greg.
