March, my man. That article looks strangely familiar. I wish they had used my fisheye photo as it captures the full splendour of the <Jean-Luc voice> supah computah </Jean-Luc voice>. Joe

Keith, No, you did not. I'm just pointing out that the pinch is being felt by many, not just teachers and nurses for whom I have much admiration and respect. Joe
