Yes, kudos to all. I suffer from a similar problem. The xfce list maintainer blocks all ip addresses from my ISP. Even if I could send mail to complain (which I can't), I know from past experience that he's a total hardass, so it wouldn't do much good. At least we do things a lot better on this list, or I wouldn't be able to participate. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
