Hello! While I agree to all that this display of discussions is certainly necessary. I do not see a reason for the extremely long signature on your responses. Please desist from posting those links, and that disclaimer. This list is stored on a publicly searchable site. Which means we can't redact your e-mail address or postings. I might add I'm not a manager for this list, that's done on a different one. Here I only subscribe like all of you. ----- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
