<rant> JESSE spelled such is *always* a boy's name, thank you very much, and my name is NOT spelled Jessi, Jessie, Jessy, or whatever other horrible mangulation you might be able to come up with. </rant> Sorry--the spelling of my name is one of my pet peeves, and you just sort of reminded me of it. No harm done, and we are even. Jesse S. Bangs jaspax@u.washington.edu "It is of the new things that men tire--of fashions and proposals and improvements and change.
