Paul, I'm sorry I asked for clarification of your previous statement. I asked because you appear to have difficulties communicating, and I did not want to assume it was as off topic as it appeared - and your past history suggested it was. Please, please, please stop sending random gibberish to the list. Many of us, myself included, would love to help you with Linux related issues, despite the fact that you have repeatedly insulted us. I will take describing me as having a 'Coleman attitude' at face value, and not as the insult you probably intended. Coleman has gone above and beyond helping people on this list, and has previously given *you* excessive help, despite your nasty attitude, behavior, and name calling. I consider it a compliment to be described as having that attitude. That said, I'm tired of you on this list. Feel free to reply to me off list, if you can figure out how, but I really have no interest in publicly feeding a troll, and wasting space in everyone's email. If you truly want help, prove it by taking it off list - but if you really are just the troll you appear to be, hopefully the list's admin will make a rare exception to their hands-off moderation style and fix this issue.
