I go along with Eric's point of view, especially with the sideline "if you are interested. What I'd like to have mentioned in the main text is that the RFCs are just what they are: a Request For Comments. Nothing more nothing less. Background: There are the usual list-nazis - as you put it - in nearly every list and newsgroup, ok. But having peeked into German lists and especially newsgroups it struck me that there are people who regard the RFCs as *laws*. If you violate them you get near legal prosecution, so it sometimes seems when you read the postings. Although this is a bit more laid-back in international lists (we Germans need our rules and walls) it may be a point to be explained to the noob. wobo
