It is of no use to argue with such men. They have not an apprehensive intellect, but merely, as it were a prehensile tail. ..........Henry David Thoreau *********************************************** Debian GNU/Linux - just the best way to create magic ----------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
