Fournier scrappy@ki.net > Systems Administrator @ ki.net scrappy@freebsd.org It is said, with some truth to its latin (or is that Greek) roots, that humility comes from humiliation. I have found over the years that it is unwise to publicly point out the foibles of others, as no matter how foolish their actions may be, I am capable of even more embarrassing misadventures. And, on that thought and note, here is a quote to find refuge behind: "An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field" Niels Bohr.
