No....none I can think of whatsoever.

I agree...close it then

Most distros come up with everything wide open. You have to close
everything unecessary. It's kinda like remembering to zip up your pants
in the morning before leavinbg the house

> Any one care to comment on that.
<sneeze> No, I can't think of anything sufficiently eloquent that you
didn't already say. My sinuses are too clogged up to think straight
after all the Mountain Dew that shot up there after I read Zeffie's post
on "Z's" Also underwear that is too tight can negatively influence one's
ability to craft blazing rhetoric..and geez I've had that problem all
day. If all that wasn't enough, my dog just barfed in my laptop carrying
case. (laptop wasn't in there thank God) I gave him the remains of my
egg salad at lunchtime and I think it argues badly with Purina One and
beer. He just stank up my office so I think I'm outta here for the
present moment....anyone care to comment on *that*???? :-)
