No wonder the USPS is going broke

Thanks Leon, will do.

Jantz-unions have done many good things to protect workers who are being exploited or who are forced to work in dangerous conditions.

On the other end, some are much too powerful and have promised retirees way too much, sending companies and institutions to the brink of bankruptcy (see GM, for example).

Somewhere between those extremes lies a happy medium...hopefully.

Hi Barry.

If you type a colon and then a capital D, the software will turn it into a green emoticon with a huge grin.

It won't do this for a colon and lower case d, though. :d

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Eric
