Am I getting wrid in my old, well early middle age. :) It seems that of all
the *NIX  mailing lists these arethe most wellbehaved. I certainly get a
lot out of themby mainlylurking. I, and this is me personallly speaking,
have seen less hram and rancor and more and more rules than I have seen
other groups. I am certainly not a full blown BSD newbie, having been in
the university system. But signal to noise is good here. Why mess
withsucesss.

Have fun,
Sends Steve
