Is that American English perhaps? <mode="pedant"> When AOL users began to invade the Internet, UseNet folks noticed a disturbing trend (one of several). Invariably responses from AOL users would quote a long post in its entirety, followed by "Me too" or "I agree" (and nothing else). Thus, if you see a pseudo-tag <AOL>, it means someone agrees with what has been said. Interestingly enough, the tag doesn't seem to carry any negative connotations in this context. </mode> Regards, -- Nathan Norman - Staff Engineer | A good plan today is better Micromuse Ltd. | than a perfect plan tomorrow. mailto:nnorman@micromuse.com | -- Patton
