I don't interact with Postfix. I also don't interact with the kernel. I interact with things that interact with those -- Gnus, and Emacs, for example. But many of the commands I run don't give me any output; they just change the state of the world in some way. Often, those ways are not perceivable to me. -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
