I'm currently wading thru 19,000 emails (combined work and FreeBSD stuff) so I might decide to whack away at that for a day or so. That's the reason I haven't replied before.

BTW, I've changed my net addresses, picnic is kaput, I now have the machines [april|may|june|july].chuckr.org, and I get my mail at just plain chuckr@chuckr.org.
