I don't like losing any user, though, and such a happening can be deflating and make one second guess what they are doing (which isn't an entirely bad thing either, as long as it doesn't result in bad decision making or paralysis)." if there is any 'flating', it is his *inflating* of numbers. i do not claim to know exactly what actual numbers should be, but i do believe that his figures are 'a little' off. as for rest of what he says, i can not comment because his second paragraph caused me not to bother reading rest. so, carry on with you post, i am here after out of this thread. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look at* it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ **** -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
