Gregory,

David posted a message with a single line (presumably automatically 
added by his ISP) that promoted AOL.

You posted a message with THREE lines (preumably automatically added by 
the list server) that promoted Ubuntu.

I don't think that we can accuse people of being spammers just because 
some email server they use happens to auto-add signatures :-)

Are you *quite* sure about that?

-c "Check if a new distribution release is available"
-d "Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible"

*ding* *ding* *ding* 

"Danger Will Robinson!"

Devel release right now is gutsy. If you run the above command and follow 
the prompts you will likely end up on gutsy - which is not what the original 
poster either requested or wanted.

Please be careful when barking commands like that!

Cheers,
Al.
