Kudos to the admin at votenader for being the only one sensible enough to turn off the servertokens. ('ServerTokens ProductOnly' in httpd.conf) Jeers to Apache for leaving it on by default...

Re: Toner cartridge for Kerry office
I was thinking last time there was a topic amok - are there any MUA's that have something like the old usenet 'killfile' functionality? Sure, you could go setup a filter, but back in the day good Usenet clients had a quick 'kill this thread' feature that could be set to expire in n days so your killfile didn't clutter up with long-forgotten threads. That would be handy for lots of mailing lists. -Bill On Oct 5, 2004, at 15:00, Rob Lembree wrote: I don't like interfering with the natural order of things, but... this thread's a little off topic -- as much as I like a good political debate between friends, can I suggest that it be done over beers instead of on the LUG list?
