Geez.  Now I've forgotten.  What do you call it Mel? ;-)

Seriously, I once joked we are all part of the ATM collective.  You WILL be
assimilated.  So many ideas float around on this list, I wouldn't know if I
had an original idea or just fragments put together from other people's
thoughts.  Mel is a true student of ATM and vigorously studies and promotes
new ideas.  Please afford him the right to name his design, IF he sees fit
to do so.
