The continued whining for personal 'wants' being met when the material is to be found already, if one looks for it, reminds me of small children clammering for their immediate needs. Perhaps a cruise round the ascii-art sites might educate the 'whiners' in the use of the 'net' and also bring them into contact with art which they find they like BUT haven't even thought of yet. A bonus for looking. -- brooke@mail.zynet.co.uk
