Jen: It wasn't me this time!! I've been very good sticking only to 
my code for the last two sections I reviewed, esp. after messing up 
Potioncat's review. But it does sound like someone has taken on the 
Binns-Vector section without signing up for it?? Since the exact 
same posts you're working on are changing. I don't think it's your 
sanity or computer <g>.
