"Daddy, Daddy, my immortal soul is being taken over by 'Knight Rider' and repeats of 'Laverne and Shirley'." "Gosh, that's awful! Why don't you stop watching it and go upstairs and read something?" "Because IT WON'T LET ME! (And besides, Dad, the new Playboy isn't in yet...)" DAA-DUH-DAA-DAA! Perhaps Mr. Manders should try rationing his child's TV watching -- it worked for my parents. Of course, this would require that Mr. Manders do something himself... Any opposing views may simply go to hell. Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
