Dear Rik,
I think I hurt you some where in the process.
Could you be a bit detailed.
I want to know the formalities in this group.

Who's who, etc.so as to be myself comfortable pl.

Than may give a real welcome into this group.
I only know one thing, that people are willing to resolve
Regards
Mohan

Dear Mohan,

This comment is an example of bottom posting, which I had never absorbed
the formality about either until now. Sorry for that.

Your response was an example top posting.

I hope this helps (HTH) you get the most from our local
*nix/bsd/gnu/linux/open-source list.

Welcome!

Cheers, Rik
