I'm pretty sure it's "Request for Comment" and they are "agreements" (only) on the definition of good behavior: for hardware, software and wetware. The consequences of misbehaving are, as in "real life" (whatever that is), that some people my decline to do business with you should you flout the standards of behavior. m _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Oct 3 - Security and Privacy Nov 7 - Django Python Application Framework
