Following that line - if Brad is like most people I know who interact in on-line discussion forums and mailing lists, he will have been burned many times before. Just as I have and no doubt you too. But we all know that that is part and parcel of these things; you stick your head out and more often than not it gets chopped off! The difference between the people I know and the people you know (if you follow) is that they'll come back for more ;) > remember as well that there are hundreds upon hundreds of people > watching us on this list. Which is the reason which motivated me most to reply. I have CC'd people inadvisedly on e-mails in the past. I paid a price. Usually a public whipping on a LUG list. But I learnt. Brad will sit back and read these e-mails and he'll either say: - "Barry & Stephen are gobshites" - "Barry & Stephen are gobshitess but maybe they have a point. Next time I'll think about it more" But - more importantly - so will everyone else on the list. Now, this gobshite's hitting the sack, Barry -- Regards, Barry O'Donovan http://www.barryodonovan.com/ GPG key: http://www.barryodonovan.com/gpg.asc >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
