    Chadley, welcome to the mailling list, don't let Dalloz ruffle your
    feathers. He believe he's a supreme being on this list, which is probably
    due to, his ever popular reply to any up2date question,
    http://fedoranews.org/contributors/alexander_dalloz/mirror/

    For future reference, a few other beefs he has include users hijacking
    threads and not searching the archives before posting. If you're not an
    experienced mailing list user unsubscribe from this list now! Either he's
    never worked on a helpline, or as a service rep, or currently does and has
    so much aggression built up that he uses this list as an outlet to
    unsuspecting new linux users.

    In any case, welcome to the list.

    Mike
