Sorry if I exceeded the boredom level of some of the fine subscribers
out there. I've always agreed with the Chinese proverb distinguishing
between feeding a man a fish(which satisfies for one meal) versus teaching
a man how to fish (which supplies food for a lifetime).

{ As someone who occasionally watches the Linux community, I've
noticed a disturbing trend of users who expect "plug and play" software
(ala RedHat/Debian packages), and drop all semblence of intelligence when
confronted with freeware in source form. The issue stems from much
deeper than the fact that Linux has a large percentage of first-time Un*x
users: Developers seem less willing to show people how to fix problems
(or alternatively, telling them to Read The Fine Manual), and more
willing to provide them with a compiled, binary-only solution.
This may result in gaining one step closer to broader acceptance.. but it
also (IMHO) is one step closer to methods used by commercial OS companies,
something I thought the "Open Source" community does not agree with.
}
(John, I'm not directing any of the above towards you. The message just
provided an excellent sounding board)

Glad to be of service.
Best regards,
Daniel
