To all,
I seem to have made a mistake regarding sending the previous message.
My fingers were quicker then my eyes and did not notice that this was a
private email which also had a header sending it to -project. I should
have noticed this and not sent it. My appologies to all involved for
disclosure of private email and for a possible breach of the list or
project rules.
-K
ps.
Thanks to Mr. Plessy for bringing it to my attention.
