One thing about lists, it is difficult to portray emotion accuratley. I
have alot of repect for you Arthur, you have helped me in the past. I
apologize if anything I said reflected negatively on you .

The plus side is we (aklug) are having a lively disscusion. There are
many facets to Aklug. Some are doing well, imho, some may need more
support. I am willing to help out in whatever fashion I can as time
permits.

caveat, I am a small business owner that uses Linux, not a Linux person
aquiring skills for employment.

Peace
