[Mono-list] Bug in M$'s BaseCompareValidator class

[Gaurav Vaish]

Hello,
    I have got the solution. With due regards to Philip Pearson and
Teixeira.

PS: While replying either reply only to the sender or only to the group.
Getting the same mail again and again is quite annoying :-)

Cheers,
Gaurav Vaish
