Hi,

  Before this gets any uglier, I would like to clarify that Han Boetes 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is NOT a MandrakeSoft employee. This list mainly 
consists of people who are beta testers and volunteer contributors -- they do 
not speak for MandrakeSoft, but voice their own opinions.

  I don't know why the tone of the discussion has become so "harsh" lately, 
but I personally want to apologize to Fran for not clarifying this issue 
sooner. I'm just a part-time employee and was hesitant to jump in, and most 
of the MandrakeSoft's developers are asleep right now and therefore can't 
respond. So please don't misunderstand what's going on.

Thanks,
Phil Lavigna
