Hey I agree with you that someone must review the log.

Hey, that's a possibility and one can also look at the syslog too. But of
course, you're the *God* so I guess it's your way or hit the highway.

Yes, lunatics are always correct. And I'll have to say that you're high on
the lunatic list. ;-)

Hey, it's only two machines the OP was talking about. However, you're the
God on this so what you say is holly.

of the holly bleachers like King Kong with a 10 ton slug hammer. ;-)

I'll let a Hollyness like you either carry the cans to the car for me one
day or I'll drive the car to you. It makes no difference to me. I just want
to keep a lunatic like you happy. ;-)

Like I said, I just knew that you were going to pull thunderbolts out of
your ass and sling them. ;-)

You're such a lunatic with *God* like mentality.

It's a nice show let's get it put on the TV.

You're such a lunatic God Dave such a lunatic.

Like I told another person on the otherside of the Big Pond, there is
something in the water you're drinking over there. :)
