I have to agree with Leah. This discussion is WHOLLY inappropriate to  
the X-Newbies list and should really be taken to private email.

I'm not the list mom, but I signed up here because I wanted to help  
people who had NEWBIE type questions, and to learn FROM newbies about  
how they view and work with the Mac so that we can all benefit.

This UNIX drivel is meaningless to 99% of the list and esoteric in  
the extreme to boot.

Take it elsewhere, please. And next time, try to remember which list  
you're posting to.

Cheers
