I tend to fall into alliteration if I'm presented with a statement that has a little bit of it. "p", "t" and "f" are the worst letters for me, and bring out an almost compulsive urge to make the longest tongue- twister I can compose. I'm glad someone noticed: "filters in Faust" was the starting point, then I just HAD to go on a search for more words that fit. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

"filters in Faust" was the easy part, but the devil is in the details. Steve

Was your deal four and twenty anni of awful alliterations, anteceding an awful <insert something meaning eternity, beginning with A>? Steve
