I definitely agree with the principle, but I think I should point out that Simple Green is so named not so just for the green color of the basic product, but for the environmentally friendly nature of the products.

Thanks for the excellent advice: your site always keeps me honest, even if it’s only with myself. Also, I love the Gatekeeper function, though I wonder if it has produced any snippy comments. (Umm … orange?)
hah…can’t believe i missed this the first time around…
