In fact I have just purchased another shell account to set up bots in case my ISP reboots (like every day). One person sent mail saying the blind leading the blind...well I have talked to a few people who are willing to help in the channel when it gets going. But the channels can be more than just help. They can be good to get to know other users. By the way, blind leading the blind may result in brainstorms. That in turn may lead to problem solving. In addition, I have received mail from some very interesting people. All of whom, I would like to get to know. Mail is great. But chatting on IRC is even better at times. The only problem is when you stay up for 40 hours at a time. Regards, Lanny Baron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
