Hi! I'm new to UBUNTU! - hijacked from: Goodbye Linux/Ubuntu

[Calcpage]

OOPs, sorry, I had no idea I was "hijacking" anything.  I been on  
several listservs over the years and never had a problem starting a  
new thread from an old one.  So, to start a new one I have to login to  
the listserv's website?

TIA,
A. Jorge Garcia
