I would also like to echo Sam's comments that I am very green with all server related issues and very much appreciate the support and work that you have done. His handle should probably read "Call Me Shameful" Nootkan

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.
