In the context in which you referred to "some people", it is common for the phrase to mean "the people I was just talking about" (i.e., those who don't like forums) as a group, rather than a subset of that group. > It seems you're trying to light a fire. While I was aware that my post might have that effect, that was not my intent. I read your initial post as an accusation that those who don't like forums are only/primarily against them because they "don't like change". As one who sees little to no value in forums over mailing lists, I found this to be an unfair characterization and felt the need to refute it. My apologies for apparently misreading your intent. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
