How does the existence of these points prove that       there are dark numbers?              As no defintion of "dark point" is given nothing can be proven about       dark points.              -       Mikko              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
