I know why you are so cynical and you may be right. It was not me who actively opposed to the packaging of eggdrop in the previous discussion about this subject. But the result from that discussion was that eggdrop wasn't packaged, so I asked for another discussion. I don't really have a strong opinion in this case, so go ahead and package eggdrop if you like. Remco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
