I'm looking forward to contributing. no, thanks to YOU! ;) daniel > > Thanks, > James Liggett > _______________________________________________ > Cheese-list mailing list > Cheese-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/cheese-list -- this mail was sent using 100% recycled electrons ================================================ daniel g. siegel <dgsiegel gmail com> http://home.cs.tum.edu/~siegel gnupg key id: 0x6EEC9E62 fingerprint: DE5B 1F64 9034 1FB6 E120 DE10 268D AFD5 6EEC 9E62 encrypted email preferred
