A few of you have responded to the annoying Fortran thread, changed the subject, started a new message, and sent the email starting a new thread. Because you responded to an existing thread you are not creating a new thread and thus and reducing the size of the audience that reads your email. Specially I'd have responded to "open source monitoring on gentoo", but since I deleted the Fortran thread in its boring entirety I didn't even see it until I saw a response further down the chain today. Whoever started Fbsplash did the same thing. kashani
