OT: thanks. that could be a problem though. The only known way to defeat them is to dress up a giant firecracker like a female tazmanian devil to lure him out. Actually it might not be. Don't they make more of a slavering, gutteral slobbering sound? Plus no evidence of a mini-tornado-like dust cloud. I'll check the shovels for bite marks just in case. <g> i guess we better cool it . trading is about to start soon.... <!--Beg_Sig-->
