Hey, could someone please explain what a *negative* meaning would be good for ? I think I already argumented against that earlier in this tread (or was it a private mail to Jason ?), but so far I read no arguments *in favor of* this. Now that I'm back, I'll happilly go on summarizing pros and cons, but that'll still need some input from others ;) Regards, -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Stop making M$-Bill richer & richer, isp-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | support Debian GNU/Linux: debian-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | more powerful, more stable ! http://www.mygale.org/~ydirson/ | Check <http://www.debian.org/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
