For THIS thread, you get the whole magilla. It's a senseless thread we can all do without. Don't you get the point? It's best to leave it off before I post a LONG screed for a reply as a SIDE posting. (Interspersed and trimmed posting is preferred. However, one can adapt to other's posting styles if needed. And some answers are so short it SAVES time to post to the top with a simple one line answer. It's QUICKER to read the top post in that case. Beancounters, lawyers, and building inspectors are inflexible objects. I'm none of the three. Nor do I expect any of those would ever be really comfortable with Linux. The strait- jacket is not tight enough.) {^_^} ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodolfo J.
