Hi Brad,

I'm forwarding to 9fans as somebody there is probably already aware of
it...

This sounds like the problem that had me stalled last week. There were
some comments about it but I don't remember if it got fixed. Might want to
google the 9fans list...

I was going to take a look at it over the weekend as I have no other work on
deadline at the moment. I've got to get saucer back up because the
mixmaster port is on hold until that gets fixed. I'll be building pcauth
myself. Hopefully I won't have the problem (knock on wood).

Jim: have you ever considered that the maxim "be strict in what
you produce, but liberal in what you accept" can apply just as well
to mailing list interactions as it does to computer protocols?

Absolutely, but one must draw a line somewhere. That somewhere in this
case is an 'institutionalized' bias in who can say what to whom.

May I ask, why you bothered to break your own suggestion?

I will close with a single addemdum, when people start thinking about what
they're saying -before- they post it I'll quit giving them crap for their
crap. I'm simply tired of seeing it.
