That's where my mind was going... Although remember that this is just speculation. Even if it seems to make sense: this Gerald does claim "SHIP SUPPORT/INFRASTRUCTURE", and they're using what looks like microsoft's Internet Mail service; that virus could well have caused no end of trouble. If so, I'll note it's probably a misguided knee-jerk reaction. Although if one wanted to technically argue about it, reading the archives on the web, and posting as a non-member isn't really returning to being subscribed to the list. (although it is splitting hairs just a little)... I'd just like to say live long and prosper, and note that it's somewhat depressing that the community has lost such a frequently helpful contributor. -- Regards, [EMAIL PROTECTED] My website: http://www.iain.thomas.dial.pipex.com/ XMMS now playing: Blur - Music Is My Radar _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
