	You know, in all the grammar books I've had throughout my education, it 
says that none is always singular as it is a substitute of "no one" or 
"not one". I'm 100% sure about that.

	However, a Google search brings up both arguments - with a number of 
sites saying either is acceptable (or is that either *are*?).
