Nope.  One can only be on so many lists.  This is news, I'll go look.  I 
was going based upon the fact that their FAQ said there would be no 
further editions of the anaconda installer.  Maybe never isn't that long?

Right used that lots of times.

Hey, whats a release without bugs?  We'd probably have to call that AIX, 
and charge a whole heap of money.

Whats a conversation without jabs?  I could jab users, but thats so done.  
And I've started just to feel sorry for the poor things.  Another option 
would be obscure religious figures and people, from my Latin studies, but 
nobody gets those.  I try to spread my jabbings out on an equal 
opportunity basis - but someone froze my ability to do electronic fund 
transactions, and they won't tell me why,  so I am feeling a bit cavalier 
these days.  And if you had to live here in the heart of the Zondervan 
dominion you'd better understand the need to vent any way possible;  but 
housing is CHEAP!

Thanks..... I think.

Nope.  I believe in the universal right to LUG participation!  No matter 
how annoying, so long as there isn't clear violation of the list charter.
