We've been through this before...there ain't nothin' wrong with ending a sentence 
with a preposition.  Fowler, Garner, Strunk and White -- they all be down with 
it.  (The preposition prohibition traces to poet John Donne, who apparently held 
some charming racist views and wanted to differentiate English from those "other" 
languages...)  So, no ticket from the Grammar Cops today.  You all type safely 
now...
