I think we've isolated the issue right there. If you look over the history of this list, you can find that this represents their MO. If you keep that in mind as you read/write/post/respond, you will have a better sense as to whom to respond to and ask questions of, and listen to. I don't have time for net.arguments, so I largely ignore people whom are best not responded to. Eric and Dave are giving you good advice and information. It behooves you to listen to that. But as Dave pointed out, some time away from this, to let emotional levels drop, and then a judicious application of filtration is well worth your time. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
