Thanks again for the clarification. I thought I read in a previous discussion related to politics that someone mentioned that the list maintainer would prefer we didn't post non-tech threads or something to that effect. I was apparently mistaken or thought whomever asked that was the list maintainer. Sounds good, thanks again. -Chad /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
