As I am unaware of the story to which you were referring, I don't think that it was that much of a stretch to assume this remark was racist. To be perfectly honest, I was quite surprised by the remark, and I figured I must have been misinterpreting it, and I'm glad that this turned out to be the case. Sorry for the noise. I guess the moral of the story is don't use national cultural references on international mailing lists. ;-) And no, I'm not American. -- Duncan Findlay signature.asc Description: Digital signature

You'd have been better served by phrasing it 'man in black,' mein Herr; to evoke the vision of the black-hatted cowboy, or the evil guy in black leather, and so on. I've had similar problems in the other direction; a German friend of mine used to break out into howling gales of laughter when I would try to get some point across in German, but phrasing it in an English way, or not realizing that a certain turn of phrase has a different cultural connotation, auf Deutsch. Just to help foster a little understanding with my cousins south of the border, and our cousins across the the oceans.

I've asked some pointed questions, and made some pointed suggestions about problems in your script, but I'm not doing so to insult you. I asked how it differed from RDJ because I seriously wanted to know. I pointed out you should remove antidrug.cf because everyone should unless they're using really old versions of SA. Regardless, antidrug.cf by that name will never be upgraded again, except to replace it with a warning message pointing out the new filenames. Hence, it's pointless to have an auto-update script checking it now, even for users of SA 2.64. That's not an attack, but an honest suggestion to fix an error in your script and improve it.
