Flaming is often a sign of getting noticed. I don't recall who/how you were flamed - not a big deal. Search the archives is a valid answer but often not too helpful. At the bottom of each and every email is: To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list and if you click it, you will see at the very top of the page, "To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the fedora- list Archives. " and a click on that link - gets you here... https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ I believe that there is a search box at the top Craig
