Yes, apology is not necessary, Dan. I really appreciate you contributions
on this list. This fellow merely threw a tantrum just because a good system
was not made easy for his OS of choice and wants to blame it on someone --
not himself. Perhaps if he took time to learn some UNIX, he might
appreciate majordomo better. It wasn't designed with Windoze in mind.
He's also looking a "gift horse in the mouth" when he criticizes volunteer
folks on a FREE list about a FREE system and application. Let him go pay M$
for such an app as majordomo -- he certainly won't get it FREE, nor any
support. Most of all, let him go away with his bad attitude and tantrums.
(yes, I also use Windoze --all versions-- appropriately on the desktop and
have for 14 years. FreeBSD Un*x for servers though!)
