This proves you don't know the General Secretary... He would never have admitted that! ``The General Secretary was angry.

Hmm, maybe you mean the Minister for General machine building, Agricultural machine building, and Vehicle industry? (No joke, we indeed had this one! :) Well, to steal a little from Dave Burgess' *BSD FAQ: 0.6 Does anyone reading this have any sense of humor at all? The FreeBSD team was actually responsible for porting "Doom" to Linux, in a successful effort to slow down constructive work by distracting the central committee with frivolous games. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
