This conclusion belongs under the subject of your old email "Hard Drive data rates". It would have provided closure to that subject and make searching the list archives much easier and more productive. Use your web browser and go to https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-September/thread.html . Your new message adds clutter to the structure of the message list. It does a similar thing to those who filter and organize their mail by subject. It would be much appreciated if you would remain as they say "on topic". --Kam
