Im sorry Joeseph, I would have to disagree that criminals arent responsible for thier behaviour because others build crappy locks. Is the door to your home the least easily pickable? You probably didnt purchase or install that lock so how could you even know, yet surely you accept that its a perfectly accpetable lock dont you? but maybe its the easiest lock to pick/circumvent? What would you deserve?

ELF is the first rock group that Ronnie James Dio performed with back in the early 1970's. In constrast, a.out is a misspelling of the French word for the month of August. What the two have in common is beyond me, but Linux users seem to use the two words together. -- seen on c.o.l.misc _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
