The last half of that second sentence is where I don't think you are going to find much support on this list for. And do not be so arrogant as to assume that those of us who disagree with you on this point have not, in fact, looked at all sides of the argument. We've just come to a different conclusion than you. You've posted your points, and I don't think continuing to reiterated them is going to win over many, if *any* people on this list. At the risk of being accused of trying to 'silence' you, I'm now politely asking that you take this discussion elsewhere...privately if anyone is willing to exchange email with you on the topic. We've wasted enough bandwidth on this already. -- -Paul Iadonisi System Administrator IV Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
