Aw shucks, now you made me blush :-) I know what you mean about the quality of user around here - no other list I'm on anywhere else comes close. I know I whinge a lot about the many wonderful ways Gentoo can break, but I keep coming back. Part of it is the ease of changing things around and trying new versions, but mostly it's because of the folks here. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
