I know I am slightly annoyed when I see that, but only slightly. It finished saying that anyone who wanted a personal reply to state so, but if they didn't, I'd hate not knowing if they received my reply just because I assumed they were subscribed. I guess I'll just have to adjust... --=20 I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
