Coward       said it ruined it, but the play ending sounds like a bit of a cop-out.        Although, I guess since the play had to earn enough to pay the actors each       time they did it, it must be        satisfying enough.              --        -Jack              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
