yes, that was then... i didn't remember it until i went back looking on my
main system... i would not have been reminded if those messages had been
purged, either... thankfully there was a problem (lack of disk space) that
caused them to not be...

ok, thank you ;)

yeah... what i meant by "buried" was they are not linked on the
main page nor any other... i went thru every page, even that wiki thing,
and finally there was no choice but the source tree...

ahhh...

i understand... thanks! :)
