dont you think that you are going a bit overboard with this? 1) I personally do not control the disclaimer that is attached to my email ... 2) I work for a financial institution and I am not really sure which part of this disclaimer you have a problem with ... 3) If I am going to get this annoying email every time I post to the list I will not post to the list any more. Could you suggest where I can get CVS information and where I can lend what I know about CVS to others? 4) Arent you alienating a large group of people who work for large corporations by taking these actions?
All I was asking was how CVS login works because I am having a problem with it. Sorry to offend if I have offended. Tom "Mark D.
