Hello everyone

I've got an Nx4 numeric array called X.  I'd like to pull out all  
rows where -9 does not appear in any of the four columns.  I know I  
can this:

Select[X, #[[1]] != -9 && #[[2]] != -9 && #[[3]] != -9 && #[[4]] !=  
-9 &]

But is there a more elegant way that applies the not-equal-to  
condition to each column without having to repeat it?

Regards,

	Gregory
