Now THAT's funny! LOL. I hope my domain hoster sees all the "guru" mail I am getting into my mail box on their server. Maybe they'll give me some kind of "guru" status and give me a discount. You know something else that's funny? I am now labeled a "guru" on the Gentoo forum. Why? Because I know so little (relative to what I want to know) and have so much more to learn that I asked a lot of questions with over 300 posts to my name. So now I will probably get less help since I should know what I am doing. Given that I am now a "guru". Talk about a catch-22. Carlos www.internetsuccess.ca -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
