Hi All,

ah, nothing like healthy, discussion, Lyle. It is all interesting. I can 
certainly agree, that it is cross-posting, if it's among a related lists 
etc, but, I think that Linux has grown a lot over the past 3yrs, and no 
offence to the original author, and we need to adapt to that. I 
personally, don't see it as a cross-post, TLUG/Husi, but, yes, 
technically, it is. I'm a rather newbie Linux guy, and therefore, can't 
remember the good/bad old days(hehe). Cheers.
