Don't block me, I'm the one who pointed out your error.  You may need me
to do this again in the future. ;-)

Apologies if you think I was being an ass, I'm just trying to point out
how people, including myself, don't always know what they think they
know.  This includes things like running as root in addition to email
headers and IP addresses.  ;-)

Look at it this way:  The ALE archives are full of wrong assumptions,
incorrect "fixes" and every now and then some truth.  No sane person can
intelligently take just one or two emails from that archive and
formulate an opinion that will pass muster.
