Uh oh Bill, it looks like you may be in store for some trouble, sounds like the Postal Service may have it in for you ;) Anyways, I usually refer to people of *BSD projects their commit bits, is it ok if I refer to you as wpaul@ (i've been know to refer to "phk" for Poul Henning Kamp (phk@) in conversation, and mlaier@ instead of Max Laier on the pf side of things ;)) Thanks for the evil work regardless, and watch your mail carefully for a while :-P Cheers, -R.
