Waiting a week may seem long, but actually isn't. But if you really dont want a week - make it 3 or 4 days. It doesn't hurt the future DM to wait the *few* days more *and* leaves other DDs the option to raise concerns. And that there *are* sometimes possible DMs where others have concerns about them getting upload rights is nicely proven in the thread about Kai. -- bye Joerg <HE> Joerg knuddeln ist wie mit Skorpionen schlafen.
