It is also the volume which bothers _me_, i have to pay every single byte of this, and i know i'm not the only one. People participating at the current and future holy-wars-discussions on -hackers should keep that in mind. Perhaps discussions like this are useful for something, but they should be continued on a different list than -hackers, really ! Kicking people off this list is no good idea, but maybe the postmaster at freebsd.org has a brilliant idea to do a subject-based header rewriting and force such discussions to another list installed just for such situations: those-discussions-ending-in-insulting-flame-wars-4-times-a-year@freebsd.org grummel, hellmuth -- hellmuth michaelis hm@kts.org hamburg, europe
