colleagues,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=670410401-06112000>here is a little
story that was told to us the other evening in a group of people. It reminds me
that although it is a popular opinion on this list that less is best, it isn't
always so--at least when you are new at it.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=670410401-06112000>One woman was
telling the story of her daughter who had been for driving lessons that day. The
teacher told the daughter to go through the next light and then to turn left at
the first street after that. The daughter asked the teacher if he was sure she
should go through the light. He said yes. Well, they got to the light and the
light was red. The daughter kept right on going. It was only due to the teacher
slamming on the brakes on his side of the training car that they avoided a bad
accident. The teacher yelled at the daughter for going through the red light and
putting them in danger. The daughter pointed out that he had told her to go
through the light. She was a new driver and did not know that he really meant
for her to stop at the light first if it was red.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
