Hi Cheri,

If you think that you know a way to make TMG better, you are the one who will
have to argue in favor of that change. Sometimes ideas are so great that they
sell themselves but that is the exception. I am sure that many improvements to
TMG were made because someone was willing to hone their sales pitch until they
sold the idea to a majority of TMG users. It is not messages like Trent's that
bring about changes that make TMG better. When on has to defend a position,
they will learn how to say the right things to win others. If the position can
not be defended then it should it be abandoned. Unless of course you are
arguing in a burning building, don't give up. <G>
