Chill out Ed. I like David too. I also don't trust linuxconf after it rendered a sendmail setup totally useless but that is beside the point. Fact is, someone reading a list message without knowing the tone of the list or the poster would see this as not helpful and obviously offensive at least to this poster. What amazes me is that anyone should be suprised to see stuff like this on a fairly technical list. This list does not have a very high occurance of RTFM you dumb*&$ messages and one of the reasons that keep me here. I am truly astounded that it pissed him off enough to post anonymously.
