While I appreciate your .sig line, I absolutely disagree with your naming convention. I'll fire anyone who pulls that kind of s**t working for me. It creates absolutely unmaintainable systems. I've got enough grief with underscores and dashes not being consistent; I don't need to worry about what's in T3.C47. Received on Tue Mar 10 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
