Finally got a moment to respond - 
I check my mail during my breaks at work. The geeks and rescue digests
are always the highlights - even if the traffic level is sometimes a
major bitch.

I mostly lurk now - and soon will find it hard to that as my wife an I
are about to finalize an international adoption. John Lac, our soon to
be son, is from  Vietnam and a week from now I'll be in Ho Chi Mihn city
doing the government biz to make it happen (our government's paperwork
is far worse than that of th3 Socialist Republic of Vietnam. OTOH, they
are more picky about typos and etc.) 

I laugh, learn, and find something useful out of nearly every digest. 

HTH,

William

(PS. Mike N, about your .vn virus - a few weeks ago on the first of our
required two trips, I stopped in a internet cafe in Ho Chi Mihn city
(aka Saigon) and the gentle next to me was a script kiddy working with
the newest kit. I just shook my head and checked my email as there is
nothing illegal about doing that in that country (the current estimate
is that 97% of all software in the country is pirated - I think the
estimate is low. I walked into a computer store and was lead into a room
about 12'x5' full of disks of what ever you might want. $0.80 per
cd...)  Wouldn't surprise me if that teenybopper wasn't the source of
your problem.)
