So you think that even if John Brown's body is still a' moldering in the grave, he hasn't gotten any older? The police agree with you. According to their semantics, his age is always his date of death minus his date of birth but it requires a field to state he is 'a moldering and a subtraction operation in addition to the date of birth. In effect, age is harder to determine once you are dead. Weird.... Len http://fly.hiwaay.net/~cbullard/lensongs.ram Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata. Datta.
