Not at all. My paper does it all the time. We are unusual I will admit. Few papers give such extravagant space to "just" photos. We have a photo page that runs every Thursday. It is very well read, and ranges through topics of birth of a child to a movie company burning down a local deserted town, to chicken ranchers, to serious diseases people deal with, to the county fair. It's a blast, and our readers love it. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance. -Robert R. Coveyou
