[...] I have no connection with Walnut Creek CDROM and I agree that you haven't contravened the list charter, but I'd still like you to shut up.

We are powerless to resolve them. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
