Hello to you all. I've been reading the list here for quite a while.

Peter: If you know what is right, then please correct Izak's post,
point-by-point.
If you won't, I am going to have procmail dump your posts and any
responses to them.

of everyone's time.
Demonstrate that *you* know what you are talking about or take a hike.
Tom
