Please remind me whenever I open my own business, I'll do it in a brick or wooden building insead of a concrete one. :-) Clearly enough (as already said many times) a very strange judgement, probably based on poor knowlegde of e-business, or the meaning of the meaning behind the ADA. The ADA s antidiscrimination, and not just a law to ban out strairs only buildings. Christian
