I really don't care how you define "meaningless", but your prattling on about it, defending yourself, making yourself right and Neil wrong is getting tiresome. Here's the real dope: You gave what you thought was useful information. As it turns out, it wasn't. It's just fluff. Neil told you it was fluff and he told you why. Neil is trying to help you, he hasn't sent you an invoice for his time and he's within his rights to tell you what format he wants information in so he can continue to give you this free advice. Dude, it happens. Get over it. alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
