I think this whole thread misses a much more important and vital point: Is the substance of the discussion such that many thousands of people would also like to read it, or is it really nothing more than a couple of people sounding off in front of an audience, in dire need of a clue as to when it's time to shut up and get off the stage? For an increasing amount of traffic in -hackers lately (and I daresay port-i386), it's the latter scenario in full effect and I, for one, am getting increasingly tired of this kind of blather in my mailbox. If I wanted to listen to a bunch of boring people attempting to bore one another to death with a lot of excrutiating detail about their latest personal crusade into the realm of Trivial Minutae then I'd join the Anal Retentives Club and spend my weekends spotting trains or writing angry letters to various editors about all the spelling errors I found in their publications. Enough! This is not in the public interest, so take it to private email. [And I may not be the world's formost judge of what the "public interest" is, but I do know that when it gets to the bickering stage, you're far from it]. Jordan
