Gmane should be able to retain threads. I CCed you on a message to get 
your personal attention, which is probably why you received an e-mail 
without the headers organized in a way that left the list out of the 
message, but the list got the message, too, you just got two copies of 
it, one coming from the Gmane server (by way of Fedora Mailman) and the 
other coming from my SMTP server on my ISP. My last message got sent 
twice because I forgot to include Planet CCRMA on the first try 
(acutally, I accidentally sent the first copy without the Planet's Gmane 
group fully typed out, which is why I sent it twice). I will try not to 
make these mistakes in the future, but really, Gmane works as far as 
preserving the threads, I just have to be certain not to screw around 
with putting mail headers in my newsgroup messages, as it results in 
people getting messages without the list as part of the headers. Lesson 
learned.

Really, all of this is off topic, could we please get back to getting my 
sound card working?

I uninstalled Pulseaudio, and while alsamixer -c0 still picks up on my 
AWE card, none of the GUI utilities do. I do not have integrated audio 
on my computer, so that is not the issue here. I am suspecting that 
there is a bug that is not allowing this card to work because it is an 
ISA card (actually, I think it's an EISA), and something broke somewhere 
in the sound software that is keeping me from running the card. I 
haven't installed Jack as Alsa by itself should be sufficient for what I 
am trying to do, which is to integrate this computer into my home 
entertainment system.

In addition, I can't fully boot about 75% of the time now, because X 
freezes when it is about to load, and my keyboard then becomes 
unresponsive. I'm about ready to throw in the towel and reinstall 
everything, which I hate doing, but considering how buggy this thing is 
acting, I don't know what other choice I have.

Peace,
William
