I did not intend to intifeer or distract from this item with the my email on US mirrors. I had not seen the discussion/log or this item when I posted. My intent was to let people on OpenSUSE know that this is a major problem and does not look good to people/business that I am in contact with. Trying to advance the openSUSE cause. -- Boyd Gerber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
