[thelist] Another Spam Question (re IE)

[Daniel J. Cody]

Come'on now.. Lets leave the one-liners at home folks, start trimming 
our posts, get back on-topic.(and start including <tips>)

Don't make me turn on the "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't 
say anything at all" filter for thelist :)

<tip type="linux">

loadable modules. Include everything statically(the 'monolithic kernel') 
for top performance
</tip>
