doh! I'm usually the one yelling at people for not reading faqs. I'm sorry about that. That's a pretty funny superstition. I'll have to remember that when I get some plecs.

I have a feeling I'm going to sound like an utter fool when I find out the answer to this, but - why is pl*co often spelled with the asterisk? Is it an obscenity in some language or is it a form of designation or what? Sorry for the dumb question, I'm pretty much ignorant to this stuff.
