Hi Nigel,

Congrats! Or my condolences, whatever you feel appropriate. ;-)

First I don't think I ever used the "fuck(in)" word. I mostly stick to technical comments, but sometimes a segment has so many easy to avoid errors, that the *C deserves a provocative response. ;-)

Good!

I haven't seen a change yet in the daily. But if you post it here or in a private netmail if you like, we can comment up front.

 NR> I'll be using makenl on Linux, if it matters.

If it's just you as only node left in the net, that might be overkill, just edit it by hand.


Bye, Wilfred.
