Janice;

I must say that I am surprised and, yes, rather shocked, by your comment. I
thought the idea was that we all knew what was good for 'em! Heavens to
Betsy! Next thing, you'll be wanting labels they can understand...or signs
that show them how to actually find the washrooms..  Egad.

On a more serious note, thanks! I'm going to use this in a talk I'm giving
next week at VSA. The mind does boggle, doesn't it?

Best,

Harry
