You surely understand that it isn't appropriate for me to change a quote which is attributed to someone else.

I did, but I have no idea what you meant to say by "a press release so you can add d-d-a to your announce lists", or how this relates to the mail that you cite.

Don't blame Ubuntu because you didn't use this information. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
