    Yea, I know busy, things fall through cracks all the time at my current
    contract, but they live with it and it's accepted....

    1) I'm easy about getting credit, so if you want to credit me, that's fine.
    2) I already sent this to _NT_Bugtraq, but I think my new (non list-reg'd address)
       confused the listbot, so I sent it direct to Russ too - no response as yet :(
       But feel free to redistribute anything I've written to anywhere.
    
    I'm one of the founders and moderators of comp.lang.c++.moderated, so
    I've had to make sure what I say is "suitable for public consumption",
    even if it's to private parties - assuming anyone can define 'private'
    nowadays... :(
    
    Thanks, and keep up the good work!
    Dom

    Dom,
    
    
    I am not sure if anyone has responded to you yet, if not, please let me
    apologize, we are pretty busy here right now.
    
    I will take your notes into the description. Two questions, one do you
    want me to add your name to the credit list, I like to do this but some
    people get a little leary of it. Two, can I fwd this to Bugtraq?
