Yes, you should. It has left the person whose thread you have hijacked high and dry. It is most definitely "not done" to hijack threads. By those who care about etiquette and other people, that is. Brian was offering you a good technical solution that would actually have solved your problem, instead of a "cobble", which you say that Debian should fix. Even God is said only to help those who help themselves. Lisi. PS I have been trying to help mudongliang, unsuccessfully. But thereby hangs another thread. Please someone else, his question has still not been answered. Are all attempts to answer it being spam-checked out of existence??
