Not so here. Um - no, not here. This list is for questions, though far to much discussion takes place here (and yes, I'm guilty of it as well). If you really feel that -doc is inappropriate, set up a private mail list for it if you don't think -doc is appropriate. I'll even host the mail list. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
