Yes ... but also who obtains a degree is Public Record ... we (all unis) publish it on the press ... and some publish it on the web (rightly or wrongly ?)

See the funny side of it though :-) Charles ============================================== Charles Christacopoulos, Secretary's Office, University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 4HN, (Scotland) United Kingdom.
