Hello Richard, Sure, I'll bear that in mind in the future. Wayne Wayne if you have an irresistible urge to share you experience with OpenBSD you could consider writing some articles about it on undeadly.org. I think I might even read them then... As Richard mentioned the mailing lists aren't intended as blog. ;) -- We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.
