Bugger. Can't find it. :(
Anyone know how to find out your shoe size?

Well... I must admit, there do seem to be a few people who get their
noses out of joint occasionally. But even those who have expressed
their opinions less than tactfully at times :) have been quite decent
most other times. I think most of the regulars on the list are
very helpful, intelligent and reasonable people.

If it really concerns you, a polite (tactful :) private note to the
person(s) involved would probably end it most of the time.

By the way, I didn't know that you'd set up the list, but I'd like to
thank you for doing so :). I find it to be full of very useful and
interesting general info about Linux/etc., that I would never have
found out on some of the more specialised lists.


Well, that's my 2 donuts... mmm, donuts *munch*

Pete.
