I wish I just could say: "please don't score Kai's posts adaptively". otherwise I find adaptive scoring extremely useful. it just doesn't cope well with people who are worth reading _and_ post a lot _and_ tend to answer a lot of newbie questions. ;) -- All ITS machines now have hardware for a new machine instruction -- BOT Branch On Tree.
