Good argument. However, it also shoots down the definition in son-of-1036, where some IDs are sacred. In a year-long thread it's easy to imagine the first, the latest and all IDs with _-_ in them to be more than 1000 chars long. Then what ID should be cut? -- Lars Balker Rasmussen, Software Engineer, Mjolner Informatics ApS lbr@mjolner.dk
