 fair enough.
 the ILUG list / website is for help with Linux,
 regardless of ones experience / knowledge.

 may I make a suggestion?
 “trim yer posts” — that is, when replying, remove
 the bits (e.g., paragraphs) which are not relevant.
 for instance, in yer reply, you quoted my entire
 lengthy posting.  that wasn't necessary, and some
 people can get very irate about it.  notice that,
 in this reply, I have trimmed (removed) almost
 everything, leaving just the parts I am replying
 to (which I have further cut down).  (I've also
 indicated where trimming / editting happened.)

 the Good Thing yer doing is interpolating yer
 comments; that is, inserting yer reply after the
 relevant parts of original post.  (some people,
 myself included, can get really irate about the
 common alternative of “top posting”, where yer
 entire occurs before the quoted (and usually
 entire!) original.  thanks!

 just a suggestion.

cheers!
