I believe you'll find that substance in the OED under: "GACK, n., 1.) putrid excrescence used as a visual emetic for prepubescent american television viewers. 2.) a rational human's response to american republican platform planks regarding abortion since 1980, 3.) the sound made when civil libertarians contemplate any cryptographic scheme using government access to keys (see GAK)" Cheers, Robert Hettinga ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah@shipwright.com) "There is no difference between someone Shipwright Development Corporation who eats too little and sees Heaven and 44 Farquhar Street someone who drinks too much and sees Boston, MA 02331 USA snakes." -- Bertrand Russell (617) 323-7923
