 -> Email isn't exactly using the web... well, yes it uses the web, but what

 RW> Let me make a clarification here ... email uses the Internet for
 RW> transport, not 'the web' :)  Sorry, just one of my pet peeves when
 RW> people refer to the Internet as a whole as "The Web."

Ok... actually I realised I'd misspoken as soon as I'd sent the
message...  usually I'm peeved just as you are with that usage...  I
know I should have said something more like that "it uses the internet,
which people confuse with the web, and which other people confuse with
knowledge about both..."   :)  Actually, what I intended to say (I
think) was "well, yes, it uses the Internet, just as using the web does"
or something like that... I very rarely do much with the web in any
form, just utilize the Internet for email and telnet mostly....

 -> Nice that you have users that let you know when there are problems,
 -> too... I try to do that for my sysops, too...  :)

 RW> Same here.

It always made sense to me...  being the eyes on the other side of the
screen...  :)
