I am not Peter Whalley, and I have never sent any challenge/response messages to this list, so you can take me out of that category. I have no idea what you mean about taking my address out of the address line. This e-mail account is not using TMDA, so I don't know what your major complaint to me is. You have never gotten a challenge from me. My messages were simply based on the premise that Peter Whalley is using some type of C/R system that he does not know how to configure. I personally am of the same opinion as about everyone else on this list... if he want's to subscribe to a mailing list then he better be sure not to pollute the list with his stupid requests. But what on earth does your message mean, and why are you even writing to me about it? If you have something to say about anything I wrote, then by all means say it, but know what you are talking about before you write paragraphs of senseless garbage. -- David Registered Linux User 383030 (since everyone else was doing it 8-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.
