Chadley, welcome to the mailling list, don't let Dalloz ruffle your
feathers. He believe he's a supreme being on this list, which is probably
due to, his ever popular reply to any up2date question,
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/alexander_dalloz/mirror/
For future reference, a few other beefs he has include users hijacking
threads and not searching the archives before posting. If you're not an
experienced mailing list user unsubscribe from this list now! Either he's
never worked on a helpline, or as a service rep, or currently does and has
so much aggression built up that he uses this list as an outlet to
unsuspecting new linux users.
In any case, welcome to the list.
Mike
