Which is why I suggested he lives in ivory tower, though "Ivy tower" might have been more appropriate. As I mentioned in a private email to someone, the main problem with his idea of tech support and maintenance is that software written to be easy to use and with (almost) no bugs requires minimum maintenance or tech support. So, Stalin is actually advocating that we write sloppy software. In that way, he should consider Microsoft his best disciple. :) Cheers, Adam ===> Whiz Kid Technomagic <=== http://www.whizkidtech.net/ The resource center for webmasters and web users Winner of the Starting Point Hot Site award Winner of the Lighthouse Award Home of the Web Magic Award To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
