Anyway, working on the Handbook isn't out of the question, just not the first part of the project as_I_see_it_. It wouldn't surprise me if at least some part of the project's product gets incorporated into the Handbook. If it does, it only makes sense that I be part of that process as well. If it's going to replace/supplement anything, it would be Jordan's booklet that comes with the CD set, that is, after all, my original intention. As for the "disappearing acting" people think I'm going to pull (partly due to my e-mail about not replying to messages anymore), I'm going to return, I just want to isolate myself long enough to think straight, get my ideas on paper, then possibly revise them per the suggestions of others. But I can't do that at all if I'm continuing the cascades. -- dpilgrim@uswest.net /\ / __ Our lies are merely the gryph@mindless.com / \/OC/URNE truth of another world ICQ: 29880099 Death is not a kill -9, just a DALnet: anim0s make world and shutdown -r now PGPKey available To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
