Once in a while a thread does get forked or a flame war starts. Sorry that it happened in your case; it is not normal behavior here. Nor are malware and spam a problem (well, not until yesterday.) We do observe the basic rules of netiquette here. Don't top-post, don't use HTML, don't hijack threads, keep it brief, and _always_ do some research before asking a question. You probably are well aware of those rules. In any event, netiquette (as interpreted here) -- and much more -- is covered in a weekly newsletter published by Lisa (The Average Jane); it's subject line is "README: Current Fedora Core 1 Problems & Solutions/Helpful Links". The most recent issue can be read here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&m=109754144607868&w=2 She also posts the same information here: http://www.peepingdarklord.com/fedoralist/ -- cmg
