It's as polite as Jef Spaleta's rejoinder about getting popcorn to spectate when mirror operators got into the discussion. The open source development process is rarely polite; read the Linux Kernel Mailing List one day. The PostgreSQL list is the most polite list I've been on, and even there it sometimes gets pretty rude. At least in the five years I've been a part of that project it has. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
