I don't either, Zeffie.  If you read my posts you'll note that I tend to
leave the Cobalt stuff alone, and that when I do something outside of
the the Cobalt scheme of things, I do it completely independently (for
example, I install an independent majordomo rather than make changes to
Cobalt's), or just take it "outside" of the gui (I run cobalt-installed
nameservers but NEVER through the gui.

And your point is?  We all bought Cobalt's.

Oh, really?  I'd love to add some knowledgebase entries; I just don't
have time.  I spend roughly three hours daily (I so skip days when I'm
busy) reading this and other lists, and being as helpful as I can.

True, my business is now 100% consulting.  And many of my clients own
RaQs.  And some own Qubes.  And some of them even found me through this
list.  I'm sorry that you have a problem with that.  I do NOT make any
money hosting.  I use Cobalt systems specifically as a consultant
specializing in Cobalt products.  I'm sorry you have a problem with
that.

May I respectfully suggest that anyone who has a problem with reading my
posts please just filter them out?

And if they choose to do that by contracting with outside consultants,
is that what you have a problem with?  Or is it just with me being one
of those consultants?

C'mon, Zeffie, let's be reasonable.
