I just wanted to let everybody know that Rod took a few hours to stop and
help out someone he did not even know (before tonight).  Rod and people
like him are the reason 386BSD has grown like it has.  Sometimes I see
articles complaining about "when are new patches going to be out" or
"When is the *new* release going to be out".  And very seldom do I see
very many people stop and thank people like Rod for the work they have
already done.

	SO, THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Ken
