My reply to you was rejected, apparently you have banned yahoo.com from your accepted mail hosts, ok, but not all of us are spammers you know, to prove it, search in the archives for "Damn you All Spammers", you would see how much we got blood thirsty, one day, but now, we are much calmer, reminded me of that fellow who just made "FreeBSD" logo into "FreeLSD" what a shame ! ===== MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
