You're welcome sir! I'm very happy to see you here, and I agree very
much with your remarks elsewhere that linux offers a great opportunity
for customisation to all kinds of different needs and requirements at
very reasonable expense.

Have fun, there are some very good folk here who will be happy to engage
in a positive way. You would do no worse than to talk to Roy, Homer,
Nessuno, William Poaster, Mark Bilk, Greycloud when he passes through,
Roy Culley on the rare occasions he pops up, Phil da Lick, and many
others.
See my .sig for the cola trolls blog which someone (I know not who) set
up and lists many of the worst characters. Or just hang around for a
while, you'll see who spews hatred and vitriol, and who purveys
insinuation and dispute, who upholds the charter, and who wilfully
breaks it on a regular basis.
cola can be fun...
