hi chris,
if my memory serves me correctly,
this guy is on the list is he not?.
if it is the same guy then
after the offer you guys made of designing
an mmc for him and buying it back
unconditionally he goes and does this.
still, judging from his posts he's far more
better than anyone else on the list so i
suppose he thinks it's his right.(sarc.)

regards
richard
