[MLUG - DISCUSSION] Being way off topic

[Rick Buford <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

While off the original topic, this was still a "technical" thread. Instead
of suggesting we move to the discussion list, why not suggest changing the
subject? I really didn't think this thread had degraded to "spam" yet (like
it has now). Per the FAQ:

Any question pertaining to a free Unix or Unix-like operating system is fair
game as long as the answer does not appear on this FAQ or you have not made
an honest attempt to find the answer yourself.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

This thread is way off topic. Can we move it to the discussion list? The
last post didn't mention *anything* about network cables. /me not trying
to be a hard ass.
