  And as I replied, this is the problem.  Ignorance of the user community.You
can only remain ignorant if you CHOOSE to do so.  How does the Bible,
put it, "Ask and ye shall receive?"  Or something like that.  And maybe,
"Seek and ye shall find".

  Agreed completely.  And we have done allot of this.  Here for example,though a
small example.  Spread the word, Greg.  These are some of the
things the IANA/ISI, NSI, IETF, and ISOC should be doing and are not
if it involves commercially avalible software of any kind.
