Departing opensolaris-discuss might not be such a bad idea. :-) I'm not on it now, and never have been. Somehow I am still able to participate, and don't feel like I've missed any really important info. (But then again, most of the important posts are cross-posted to lists I *am* on, such as ogb-discuss or -code.) -- Garrett > _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
