well, you are dealing in stereotypes. It's sort of like asking if the Farmer's Market is one of those "hippie gatherings" you could say that, but you'd be missing the point, yes many people at the farmers market are hippies (or would get labeled as such) but the point is that there are fresh veggies for sale. Besides, most of the people on this list now think you are in deep denial... ;-) OT: there is an article to be written about the information leakage created by google's related pages ads in gmail. For some reason reason this thread brings up lots of beer brewing ads, so who's the beer geek? fess up. -- http://Zoneverte.org -- information explained Do you know what your IT infrastructure does? _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
