Thankyou Patrick. Rob has a very valid point when he says:
The original email while not pertaining to SuSE per se is still something that should concern all Linux users, one day we could all wake up with a bill from SCO in our mailboxes for 699$ for using our beloved free OS.
You have a valid point when you say:
James has done more for the list and for SuSE, than most here, and his efforts are appreciated.
but that does not mean that Rob should not dare to challenge James. And just to express another opinion, there are several things worse than top-posting and full quoting under. One is whining about people who do that. You are not going win the battle to change that, even if you convince everyone here, there will still be newbies and there are people like me who see the point, but just don't care. Another worse thing is telling a bloke to climb in a hole, when it just isn't called for. Take up top-posting and full quoting under as a hobby, do it for the hell of it, it might be the only really bad thing you ever get to do to cheer yourself up, after all the asteroid might hit us all tomorrow!

You top-post and full-quote-under. Haven't lost the windoz mentality. And you jump on the wrong individual. James has done more for the list and for SuSE, than most here, and his efforts are appreciated.
You just hit the bit-bucket. Climb in a hole. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
