OK, I see your point. But I cannot agree with you. Everything is politics, and even your signature may be offensive to, at least, someone -- not me, for sure :) but I can think of a couple of guys :). So what? This will make you feel bad and change your sig? Maybe the best you can do is stand for your position and hope to find someone sympathetic and willing to help. Though one can say that Linux is apolitical, the people that makes up the community surely don't. For me, I'd never reply a post from Sadam or Bush. You can call it prejudice, I don't mind :) Regards, -- Hamilton Coutinho [EMAIL PROTECTED] Porto Alegre - RS - Brasil -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
