    I think this has gone on long enough. All the names here are good 
intelligent Ubuntu users who, like me enjoy helping others. I had a real 
joy this morning. I helped a guy on this list and he bothered to send me 
a personal email thanking me. This makes you feel good.

     Res decided to call some of these people bad names. If you were to 
ask I bet he is sorry he did that. I get off track some times and get 
hate mail. I just ignore it. I suggest that we all just IGNORE hate mail.
