A quote is a subclass of the original post and so on. The subclass therefore inherits the pointers of its respective superclass. Coincidentally, one might consider posts to be polymorphic, as in accumulating quotes they are adding data. (And, arguably, during the first reply, generating a new "quote" datatype.) And if you consider the 'post' class to be polymorphic, and therefore contain all of the quotes within the inital invocation of the class, you maintain all pointer references. And while we're discussing theoretical things, why do all of my friends think I'm a geek? Oh... wait... :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
