I don't want to make a big deal out of it, and I'm not (and cannot) speak for the entire OGB. As an individual, I'm asking you what *you* are intending and would like to see us do in this matter. You're the one who sent your reply message to the OGB, but without any indication of what you'd like to see done. Also, again as an individual, I'm suggesting that taking it up as a personal matter between you and the original poster may well be more productive than pursuing an administrative remedy. I'm not the world's best prognosticator, but my guess would be that if this is the first offense and if the original poster wasn't shown the error of his ways, then convincing the majority of the OGB members to take action against him would be rather difficult. It's up to you, though. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
