Guys
        There was a story floating around some time ago that went along
the lines of somebody asking a question to a member of the USDCT which
recieved a 'give me your Visa card number - my time chrges out at $100
per hour'.

Wether this is true or not I would suggest:-

Given that some people do not take kindly to Georges matter_of_fact
responses I guess we all owe WKPP a heap of money for the valuable info
given - that is of course if they charged for it - which they don't.

Chris
