Think about it. Sorry, badly written. What was meant was:- that the standard way to answer any query is to reply to the list, not the sender of the query. This way helps everyone. Especially those who might have the same/similar problem and not want to expose themselves. As there are still many new to Linux that believe there is such a thing as a stupid question. Forgetting that any question can be ignored, there is no obligation to answer. So Reply to list and the poster will find what they are looking for. Not that the "Reply to List" should be the only option available. Sorry about the confusion, a later post of mine might have cleared that up. +++++++ Registered Linux User:- 329524 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot. .............................Henry David Thoreau *********************************************** Trying Linux Debian Sarge _____________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
