No wonder you were banned on #irc. I personally am more than happy to wait. I came here from Whitebox linux, and it is even slower there. One person is doing what the entire team is doing here. I also know that if I am in that big of a hurry, I can down the src rpms and start building... But I won't. Johnny, Karanbir, Russ, Seth, Dag, Jim, Donavan, and every one else on the team that I most surely missed... You do a bang up job, and our thanks go to your tireless and mostly unpaid contributions to this project! If I have to wait a week or a month for a new release... so be it. The security updates are what is most important, and those come very quickly. Again ... Thank you all! -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
