I didn't absolutely need to use the word 'yenta' in order to get my basic point across in my original comment, so in view of the response to my using it, I apologize to the list - I had no bad intent in using the term. (OT: the term doesn't carry any baggage of bad intent to it, in the sense that I've never heard of anyone picking a fight or starting one over calling someone or someone's mom a yenta). -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0 _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
