Bruce,

Well, from an historical POV CC used to be the acronym for "Cat Crap" <g> of which I suppose a few of the old timers around here will remember. Rumor has it that Kaysville, Utah was the worldwide collection center for this odiferous compound, though it did make for nice mounds in wintertime (the only safe time to get close) where skiiers would practice their arts....

This was during the heydays of the Compu$erve foum of which I was an junior assistant archivist to the she-devil >L<... <g>

Best,

DD (purveyor of CC)
