Of course, there's the occasional notable exception who regularly screws stuff up and just plain doesn't care. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Sun__24_Apr_2005_22_09_10_+0100__R68bbEoqW0sg9y1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCbAr596zL6DUtXhERAkFvAJ4iq+TCKPZ3iRYH623dlb3ZnN/u1QCgx2t6 mSyb3GdbQ594C2WsJfETZvg= =snJD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Sun__24_Apr_2005_22_09_10_+0100__R68bbEoqW0sg9y1-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
