Well, I don't want to come off as a constant wet-blanket in this mailing list, but I'd also note that we (RPI) specifically tell everyone at RPI not to forward chain-letters. Not even for good causes, such as the poor child who's dieing and just wants to get in the guiness book of world records for having received the most postcards. Now, I realize you're not trying to make a true chain letter here, but the subject on this thread has me a little uneasy... :-) --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
