Funnily enough, I never went to the telepathy class at school, thought I'd give it a miss for telekinesis, figured it would help me in my ambitions to be come a sloth.
Hehe... Maybe you missed the common-sense class too. Its really not an inordinate jump to think one might post on the `test' list about a pkg to use on a `test' machine.
That would require an assumption on my part that you were clever enough to know how to differentiate between the two, that's an assumption I am not prepared to make.
I posted a reply with some helpful information, you are now aware of a site, that may not have helped this time, but may help in the future.
I then added a second query to verify that you were actually using a test release, and were not one of the uneducated masses who just mail any odd list.
A simple not sarcastic, non caustic response stating that you were indeed using a test release would have been sufficient. However, that seems to have escaped your abilities.
I see nothing wrong with the check I made. This could go on for ages, but I can't really be bothered, I shall be sure not to offer any assistance to you in the future, to spare this list these inane responses.
