Egad, we're way off the subject. I hope no one is getting angry
about it.
But this message reminded me of a cartoon I saw long ago. Two
workman are standing on the sidewalk looking at a heap of bricks with

worker looks at the other and says, "I told you what would happen if we cut
the ivy down!" --Chas--
