As in announcing websites, but not critiqueing them? No, advocacy is defined as the act or process of advocating or supporting a cause or proposal, in this case the FreeBSD operating system. There are many of us that are on this list because it's low traffic and tends to stick to the topic of advocating the FreeBSD operating system. It seems to be a serious stretch to suggest that an extended discussion of html width being static or not advocates the FreeBSD operating system. On an actual advocacy note, look for a FreeBSD press release describing the switchover of a fair sized webhosting company to FreeBSD to be coming out shortly ;-) cheers, -matt -- Matt Olander (408)943-4100 Phone (408)943-4101 Fax www.offmyserver.com -- "Those who don't read have no advantage over those who can't" -Mark Twain
