On my screen, that looked like 70.000 with a period and not a comma. >Of course, I could be wrong. I'm using a d..n small font! :) Yup. It's a dot. The US is one of the few places on Earth, AFAIK, that uses a comma as a thousands separator and a period for decimal. The post came from .de (Deutschland) where they use the period for thousands separator and the comma for decimal, such that seven thousand two hundred twenty-three and three tenths looks like 7.223,3. It's just one of those things you have to keep in the back of your mind when reading Usenet. Hope this helps, Troy Smith
