No, I hadn't seen that thread. I did not know that such a thread existed until now. In any case, you may notice that I have quietly dropped the sig. Fuck it, I'll miss a message here or there, but it's better than pissing everybody off. I had no idea that would be the case. > Also, it felt I had seen it before.

Which post? I _don't_ post without doing my homework, but often I just google as I have found that google takes me to manpages online if that will help. So long as I have the right keywords, I usually google very well (otherwise you would hear much more of me). I may have simply not known which keywords or programs I needed. > Anyway, I probably shouldn't have posted regardless.

Trust me, people have been worse to me that you could ever do online :) I'm not the "cool geek", more of the "unsocial nerd" variety, at least that was until my wife got hold of me and made me into a decent human being. I would have preferred an explanation, though, don't leave me to guess. There is no manpage on that (well, there are etiquette guidelines, but I follow them). -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
