No, no! This is *much* worse! Without a question, the words "document" and "note" make, together, the most ambiguous combination known to man! A lot of things are notes. Note covers a far wider range than personal does--after all, you can have impersonal notes. Such things as office memos, phone messages, shopping lists--all of these could conceivably fall under "note". How about these categories: text.personal text.opinion text.journal ...these should pretty much cover it, doncha think? -------------------------------------------------------- [ Jordan Reiter ] [ mailto:[log in to unmask] ] [ "You can't just say, 'I don't want to get involved.' ] [ The universe got you involved." --Hal Lipset, P.I. ] --------------------------------------------------------
