So it's quite good here where you have kind and helpful developers. Helpful developers doesn't go near far enough.. I've seen (and still do see) commercial support that isn't up to the grade of support I have gotten from the -general and -hackers lists. I can ask any question and I *always* get a response within minutes from one of the core developers.. I have yet to have a question go un-answered and I've been on the list for a pretty long time! It just doesn't get much better than that to me. Thanks to all the people that have put up with my strange (and sometimes amusing) questions! -Mitch
