Well, if you were being sarcastic, let me dispel your assumption. It wasn't due to the draconian top posting policies. If you really want to know and if someone feels like narrating it, you might just get a history lesson about FOSS in India, which IMHO, makes for a good movie script :) cheers, - steve -- random spiel: http://lonetwin.net/ what i'm stumbling into: http://lonetwin.stumbleupon.com/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
