..., you'd move your current copy back to the begining (destroying all the history). I don't recall that we did much code sharing, though I have a vague recollection of putting one of his images in one of my history slots and copying some bits and pieces over. Gah. It's so tempting to speculate; version control is such a fascinating topic...you might have to start a new thread to try and draw off some of the inevitable noise. :) --Josh

Good luck in trying to nail them down to a ruleset of moral directions, etc. They realize their hypocrisy.. Telling people what they realize? Now thats way above my head.

... philosophical constructs of the day considered such differentiation legitimate, and ideas of racial difference?and, therefore, racial supremacy?were practiced around the world.
