Hello again..it's good to see all the erudite inputs on the subject are still going, & I guess it's about time to cloud the issue with some silliness of mine again...Just a couple thoughts...Joe, I like your concept of signing names instead of numbers... I can forsee a spooky time when we all will become numbers instead of names to someone. For example maybe in the future I will be known as "568964216" instead of Gary.. but this, of course would be pretty long for people to deal with.. then maybe they'll just have to call me "56" for short..then I'll be known by my nicknumber!...

As for the following, seeing as how there are so many of you out there who are fond of the "F" word...you might as well know of the origin of it. According to one of my English Professors, it is a legal term (Perhaps Bill in Alabama can confirm..) Anyway, when minors were arrested for illicit sexual relations, it was put down in the books: "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"..So there you have it..if you take the first letter of each word, you will discover how it was abbreviated (though the periods are now missing between the letters) As a matter of fact the whole subject is about missing periods, of one sort or another... Sorry people..couldn't resist! Gary
