The real culprit is the IT guy who gave the clueless lawyer a misleading response to pass on. The lawyer likely just doesn't know, and had to meet with the IT department to draft his response. The IT people who helped him DO UNDERSTAND the request, and are allowing the law dept. lawyer to deliberately mislead you in order to get out of some work or succeed is some other bureaucratic goal. If I thought someone was deliberately lying, I'd take that weasel's deposition and make him or her squirm. -- _____________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.
