Very true Hugo.... As you probably guessed from my reasoning, I'm less
than enthused myself... And mystified, by the users and the PHBs
enormously dense minds.... They've seen the results of bad
autoresponders, I've explained it (in detail) ... and they _still_ are
adamant that they _need_ it. Sigh. I give up. It's been noted in
protocols, and is now on the PHBs head. I wash my hands;).
Just goes to show the wonders of corporate life, I guess:-D
