To all list members: don't worry, I promise this is my last public answer to Mike on this subject. To Mike, Four days after my proposal had been posted and completely ignored as _you_ would think proper, *your* abrupt and unpolite remark has finally given to it, and the general issue, the exposure it deserves. It is only after your post that several list members, both here and off list, have said "yes,this is an issue that FOSS cannot ignore anymore, thanks Marco". Since this subthread diverged from Fedora and FOSS to good manners, I'll close it here by publicly giving credit where credit is due: ################################################################## Mike, your active support, which arrived right when I was despairing, immensely helped me to prove my point and to interest many more FOSS users in these problems. I appreciate your help even more when I think to the high price (reputation wise) you had to pay to carry on your mission. For all these reasons, before updating my killfile and answering actual questions in the other subthreads, I sincerely (and boy, I *do* mean sincerely) thank you! ################################################################### Ciao, Marco Fioretti -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server mclink.it Fedora Core 5 for low memory http://www.rule-project.org/ Imagination is more important than knowledge -- Einstein
