Hi Ray - and nice to hear from you again, particularly with your favourite 
topic:-)

I owe you an apology.  I once called you stupid.  Since then, I've been 
reading posts here by flatfish, DFS, hadron, and one or two others, and 
concluded that stupid you may be, but not so stupid as they!

Going back to your question though, a thought strikes me, and perhaps you 
can help.....

To reach me:-

- your post was sent via Google (Linux)

- it went to my Usenet hosting company - who run Linux

- it came from there via my ISP - who use Linux

- through my router - which uses Linux

- and hence to my computer, which is running Linux.

My reply (from my Linux machine) will go through my router to.... you catch 
my drift?

I wonder if between us we have a full set?

1. What OS is *your* ISP using?

2. Do you have a router?  If so, what does *it* use?

3. Have you manged to get Linux to work yet, or are you still too bloody 
thick, you cretin???
