It would appear that I sent it to you, although it was intended for the list. As has often been pointed out, setting a reply-to line frequently has this effect. I'm sorry that I have added to the confusion by not noticing that you had this set. > I did not join a linux newbie list to be continually insulted at any and > every opportunity.

I would like to say two things, then I will not say any more on this subject, no matter how great the provocation. First, you are making a big mistake in reading attitudes. It has been pointed out more than once that not liking a country's politics and not liking the people of that country are not at all the same thing. Many of don't even like the politics of our own country, at least in some respects. I llike and respect individuals, though often have to make exceptions of politicians. 'nuff said. Second, do not let your upset over this make you do anything that is not right for you - we call it 'cutting off your nose to spite your face'. If Mandrake is right for you, continue here. Let the subject drop as something on which you will never get complete agreement, and concentrate on happier things. I hope I have made my position clear. I did not intend an attack on you, and am sorry that my mistake made you think I did. I do not want to get involved in this subject. My only post, other than this, was to try to defuse the situation by pointing out that serendipity sometimes overcomes all. It seems that this did not succeed either, so I'm firmly avoiding the subject. Anne
