Wow, you truly shocked me there. The guy who agrees with you is the one that you like the best. What's your next amazing revelation?? > are the ones who are coming for us.

Sure, because you're not in the profile.

You owe everyone on this list an apology for spouting such wanton hatred & ignorance. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ General mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/general
