Greg Pavelcak started this subthread with his posting: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=800904+0+archive/2002/freebsd-chat/20020407.freebsd-chat Which I believe was a tangent off the "Hold Harmless" thread: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=748900+0+archive/2002/freebsd-chat/20020407.freebsd-chat ...unfortunately, he didn't include an "In-Response-To: " header, so he may have been replying to Gary Swearington. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
