--------------F58F0D134CADBD63582FA318 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Joe. Thankyou for your submission. However, it is impolite to submit an article to more than one place, without them first declining to publish it. Chris, I wasn't aware that there was some kind of rule or that it would be considered impolite to submit an article to more than one site. I worked hard on this article and spent most of a day, trying to write it. I wrote the article and submitted it to more than one site, hoping to help others and spread the word about a useful application that runs on FreeBSD. It's rules/attitudes like this that make it very discouraging when someone like myself, is just trying to help the rest of the BSD community. In the future, if I come up with some information that I think would help others or I have an idea for another article, I will certainly think hard about sharing it or writing it at all. Thanks for nothing. Joe Chris Coleman wrote: > Joe. Thankyou for your submission.
