I am not judging *you* per se, just the slightly elitist tone to some of your 
posts. I will not be drawn into the "my UNIX phallus is bigger than your UNIX 
phallus" game. I have no certification, and only a coupla years of *actual* *NIX 
experience. I have been a sysadmin in practise for about a year, and one in 
title only for the last few weeks. I am willing to admit when I dunno and defer 
to someone more knowledgable. When I think I know something (and that commenting 
will actually be *useful* to someone), I comment. I try to resist showing off my 
own paltry knowledge. I think that (if the search function were working! ;) a 
search of the tlug@example.com archives would show many instances where I have 
admitted ignorance. You may find me asking "14M3R" questions in some cases. And 
I have certainly apologised.

And I will apologise here again:

I am sorry that I did not follow Chris's lead and killfile you myself. I accept 
that mistake and will soon be correcting it.
