Hello everyone. As usual, more people belong to the list than there were yesterday, so welcome: do a posting and introduce yourselves. Just for a change a little story. One day, Mullah Nasruddin went up into the pulpit and said: "O people, which of you know the great truths of religion which I am going to expound to you?" And, not wishing to appear ignorant of Islam, all the congregation raised their hands. So the Mullah said: "In that case there is no need to preach to you." The next week, Mullah Nasruddin went up into the pulpit and said: "O people, which of you know the great truths of religion which I am going to expound to you?" The congregation knew what to do: none of them raised their hands. So the Mullah said: "If you have all reached adulthood in such ignorance of your religion, I will not waste my time preaching to you." The following week, Mullah Nasruddin went up into the pulpit and said: "O people, which of you know the great truths of religion which I am going to expound to you?" The congregation had decided in advance how to answer him, and said: "Some of us know, and others do not know." The Mullah then said "Then let those who know teach those who do not". -- Roger Whittaker SuSE Linux Ltd The Kinetic Centre Theobald Street Borehamwood Herts WD6 4PJ ---------------------- 020 8387 1482 ---------------------- roger@suse-linux.co.uk ----------------------
