It's actually the only responsible thing an executive can do in that situtaion. She'll let someone else do it, if they can find that sort, or maybe her resignation will be a wakeup call and they won't ask her successor to do whatever she disagreed with. Should have done it before the OGL nonsense though. She's already got taint. Utter speculation of course. -- Zag No one ever said on their deathbed, 'Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer.' ~Dan(i) Bunten
