I think, I have been on list on and off, for a while now, and I did not see so much irrelevance in mails till now. The mail from Philip was obviously indicative of that. I was only responding to Parag's suggestions. It is completely clear to me that such a protocol won't be followed, if I know anything about human nature. But I think by simply mentioning it we give some indications to people on list, as to what is perceived "appropriate" in electronic communications. And as you said it is time to move on. ciao -Rajesh -- One Bell System - it sometimes works. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
