The discussion has completely turned into a urinating contest between those that will and those that won't. Yes, I know how to delete things, but is still fills up the mailbox with unnecessary chatter. I don't think I'm alone in wanting the thread to go away either. 3 or 4 days worth is enough. Take it to personal e-mail. I'm in learning stages with CentOS and linux in general. I sure can't learn anything from this conversation other than who can create the longest post.
