Hi all, I too am new to the command line, more or less. And anyway new to RKH. And I've never sent a posting to this list---until now. I want simply to say that, unlike "Call Me Shane", I very much appreciate the work y'all are doing and that you should please *not* consider the attacks you read from some people to be representative of how your work is being received.
That's about it I guess. If I ever need help I'm glad to know that there's a list where I can ask for it. In the meantime thanks.
