Since I subscribe to debian-user not the digest, I wasn't aware of that. But, even though it may be a good idea to add the instructions to the digest; I doubt it would help with posters like our Princeton friend. He claims to receive some 60 a day (there's a question as to his ability to count. ;-)) Are that many debian-user-digests posted? He also claims to have followed the instructions at the bottom of the messages (reading comprehension? ability to follow instructions? ) He evidently has not tried going to the web site to unsubscribe. ( analytical skills? ) Hopefully, we'll find out that someone else was using his computer; because if it really is him, it's frightening. He's training young minds to think as he does!!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ John -- Powered by the Penguin
