I think there room for improvement on your side of things Karl. Its 
really hard for people to help you when your questions are vague and you 
start many threads about the same topic. (For example the Wicd issues).

When you next have an issue that requires technical support please step 
back for a few seconds to think about the issue, whether your have 
missed something and the best may to ask for assistance. It will help us 
help you and it will cut out the breakdown in communication that occurs 
in your threads.
