Otherwise, those two entities are entirely interchangeabile. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQJRBAEBCAA7FiEEMmKgYcQvxMe7tcJcHPApP6U8pFgFAlo0GiMdHGNocmlzQGNo cmlzdG9waGVyc2NodWx0ei5uZXQACgkQHPApP6U8pFjEIw/9HV9xypcf78elgY/2 Q0ZhE/jvJ8LrGs9vzSQ0xCBrOCjyr0bY4CXFX8GA7YnXovmhKJBvuDaSqzNGyAc/ 81K67HqTEFN2Xw0rkLUbbJhhnCSKcm2baXpeayBPF0G08V0eKrKwXOKdKkXrms02 A2L8uS0PpVdLccDXI0FF/s4tB6DYxJCTnMC78ygYmUsLrvbWn9TiltGr/e0Pwh36 H8HKvywU2GMgpbSvEbvyqTHaCNE6TjCQQY5nSg83QT8+qLKBMnFVIxSfUsXbH1DJ KsXFz4nI1+ukuRaweCjHYvToZEw9VJspfZ5KjtN3jYXvhcQJDPx1QZmMHPSJIEPB 3AbLJX5LK0JCIWStywTmoj6ZKq/2kJ7sVx4p+Mh/2SdMeNDWjSpyaU7aASEDCdu9 qheeGT7gx9VETPAq/aHi7NgN/oaWyJ3Vu3PGN6mA6wUG8Z3SiRQlXH00iJSiUqgx d8gHqUn26dXOOfVSC3fG90CvH/P+TYj+oBBvtKzRlgWDxuhfyYewvTdSyUICq+ew zb7r/8d+xGH4GlNdFM2hCn8LCTi2xXmmOJWc+lDF8v27u8h5aGFMgXUwFTKPA1eP DKIqyL8+vMhSK7aq6ba3Uon8fpGrs7RnnbfJvTZUpn2FQhqDADuQ5a4nMK1OO5u6 xdo4SGUETZg0gQFfRK9CCe0dlko= =7MSr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
