Vivek, miwi@ has been spanked quite a bit (both in Email and on IRC) about this mistake. His track record is amazingly clean, so it's important to remember that we're all human and that mistakes do get made. He's feeling pretty bad, so we need not rub his face in it any more. All of your points are completely valid (I'll be surprised if someone argues otherwise), but that said, don't be too hard on him. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
