I am currently not using Usenet and am not that exited to start. The volume on the list as I have said before comes from having questions on all three Fedora versions packaged into one list. In many cases one can';t tell which FCx version is being used by the questioner. For example, recently a brief interchange occurred on whether OO is written in Java. Well FC1 and FC3 have different OO setups so the question is hard to deal with is the Fedora distribution is not identified. ======================================================================= Power corrupts.
