I investigated this (hopefully this is the last we hear about this issue) and found out that it is really my mistake: When collecting names of people who expressed interest in the DLM, I put into that folder, by mistake, a digest of freebsd-questions. Not noticing this mistake, I processed the folder mechanically and ended up with a much larger (by 4 so far :-) list than I intended. I do recognize, however late, the great sensitivity which people have to unsolicited listing. I was strongly repremended, each word deserving. ``The road to hell is paved with good intentions'' - Who am I quoting here? --- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Atlas Telecom Senior Architect 14355 SW Allen Blvd., Suite 130 Beaverton OR 97005 Shimon@i-Connect.Net Voice: 503.799.2313
