I thought Hans was being facetious, or was practicing his standup comedy. I can see something like that coming out of a far western oriental type when dealing with an american that isn't really understanding his accent, but here in the states, after we've explained it once in plain english, the next exchange will more than likely go the other way, possibly even making it to the 'hey dumbf*ck' stage on about the 4th reply. And I do object, albeit somewhat tongue-in-cheek, to applying that particular label/broad brush to all americans since I am one of those creatures. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
