Hi all

Yes, I know that it is a horrible idea, but the user that asked this showed me some windows product (sorry, don't know the name) that did this. So I told him that I would look arround and I did and now I will tell him: sorry!

Thanks

That's a reply, however automated, and not a rejection. I too consider
that to be a bad idea.

Sincerely,
