Whatever they are, bring them on. The "Bring me sandwiches" case seems like a "makes life more interesting" version of "Bring me every kind". You'll never know which kinds you won't get until you realize you didn't get them. The only people who will spin the Wheel of Sandwiches are either looking for excitement or don't really understand the Wheel of Sandwiches. -- Rocco Caputo <rcaputo@pobox.com>Thread Previous | Thread Next
