[no subject]

    Welcome to the list. Obviously you are new otherwise you wouldn't 
call us a professional list! I personally haven't enjoyed the recent 
banter about the local Bellsouth issues (especially since my actual 
linux question about Apache/ssh proxies was ignored) BUT - it *is* the 
ATLANTA Linux Enthusiests group list and local internet connectivity is 
a BIG issue for linux users here so it fits our more wider definition 
fairly well I think. As far as your suggestion about this being a 
questions only list with the requester posting  a summary of replies I 
can just say BAAWW HAHAHAHAHAA!!! I mean that in a nice way though. You 
just don't know us very well... give it some time and you'll laugh too.
   
    best regards,

          Ben Scherrey
