Hi, Angie,

Ummmm, I hate to bring this up, but there is a story related here

http://www.moveon.org/moveonbulletin/bulletin12.html#1

That is important to understand what can happen with this.

I don't know the answer - we're building an interesting world for our 
children, eh?

Although this is broadcasting related, I'm not sure it's really 
within the ARSC charter to cover this topic, so I've marked it OT.

Cheers????

Richard
