I could respond point by point to all the false claims, misunderstandings, etc. this person wrote, but I can't invest that much time into something that would probably fall on deaf ears anyway. But I don't think the name of the option implies that RPM is evil, nor do I think that the ignorance of some users invalidates the technology. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
