dont get me wrong, i'm sympathetic with new orleans and also definitely not a bush supporter but this is verging on incitement and i dont see the point of the post to here
My guess: someone who doesn't like Paul (and there are plenty of people who have groused privately about his prolific posting of current news stories) is trying to make him look bad (or doing a savage parody, depending on how you look at it) by abusing the http://www.tribuneinteractive.com/ "mail someone this story" feature. Look at the headers... it was obviously sent by tribuneinteractive, and it's pretty unlike Paul to do something like this. So that's my hypothesis anyway. We'll wait till Paul is awake to be able to confirm or deny it. ---Rob -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

It would have been slightly more amusing if they'd been from Faul Perguson. At least that way it would have been totally clear it was spoof/forgery. I almost email'd Paul (note, not the list) to ask what these had to do with network operations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
