The folks who like to criticize each other have many homes on the internet, but this is one of the places where we can and do afford to provide a pleasant experience most of the time as well as help a few people solve problems and learn a little more about their computers and Operating Systems. Ronald J. Hall has been here a while and has provided a lot of help on this and some other lists and has functioned as one of the guinea pigs for our latest and greatest (which is sometimes great at corrupting files and such). I suppose this could have been given an OT banner for the folks who pay for every message they read, but other than that, it does further this sense of community. If you want to call this "crap" and yell in all caps on this list as a regular practice, then my email burden will increase as people will be asking how to set up filters for your posts. This is not a threat or a warning or a yellow card, just a statement of fact. Keep the list a pleasant place to be, and make criticisms in a civil manner or people will most likely ignore you, leaving you with a linux manual for company when you actually need help. Civileme
