I guess it means that we are humans and not machines dedicated directly to the Fedora OS via USB rectal probes, who ponder and debate many OT things. It's happened before, it'll happen again. I personally think most OT subjects as a result of our collective need to remain human and converse, even if it's in disagreement. No one is getting paid here, so a little bit of payment in OT, by the list, is not out of the question. This list would get bare, REAL quick, if it weren't for some bit of OT discussion. Even a trained seal will not bark when there are no fish. :) My 2 cents, Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
