I find it amusing that people who seem upset by the "noise" on this list add to it by complaining and posting please to stay on topic. Such posts are off topic, but I long ago recognized that it is impossible for any mailing list to stay on topic, even when everybody agrees what is "on topic", at best you can keep such excursions into the absurd to a minimum. You don't like off topic posts? do post any and ignore the ones _you_ think are off topic. -- Brian Beattie | Experienced kernel hacker/ beattie@beattie-home.net | embedded systems programmer, direct www.beattie-home.net | or contract, short or long term.
