Michael, I don't see how you could read my original post as flamebait.=20 You were not supposed to respond, I did not intend you to take offence=20 and it was a harmless joke. Where I come from it's a self-deprecating=20 in-joke and it goes like this: Q: Hmmm, app xyz is broken. What could be wrong? A: It's software. Come now, you really didn't expect it to work did you?=20 You have every right in the world to take away from this thread whatever=20 you want, and I have now explained publicly what I meant. If we still=20 disagree, then that's 100% fine by me but I think we should get this=20 out of these other fine folk's inbox. You have an answer and a solution that appears to suit you. That's a=20 good point to end this at. =2D-=20 Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
