Since the papers are likely to be written by developers, aren't points 1 and 3 mutualy exclusive? Or maybe Mark was just trying to get newbies to leave him alone. --------------------------------------- Runbox Mail Manager http://www.runbox.com/mail2 _______________________________________________ freenet-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/tech
