texte = Ken,do you KNOW for sure that the random parameter does not work? I mean it doesn't seem to work for me, but maybe I have done something wrong...? Had you previously found the random param to not work for you?We hope you are not right about PCS/SM, but one thing for sure, I have learned that communication stops when the feeling level has been damaged. Whatever are the intentions of PCS/SM, we will only lessen the support if we bad mouth them.
