*nods*  The phrase "You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps" 
comes to mind.  Personally, I think you're all comitted, you just haven't 
realised it yet.  (jingles the little green pills he got when he left...)  ;)

Never had the chance to try the channels...  Usually no one else on to talk to.

I do hope someone's going to put all the different releases up on the Circle 
page on Savannah.  A quick note on the sources.list lines to use, a quick note 
on how to use cvs to fetch the gtk1 vs gtk2 version, and any other formats 
Circle is presently being packaged in.  (Sorry...  I just couldn't bring myself 
to say w...  win...  wind...  windo...  winblows....  That's about as close as 
I can manage, I think.)

Snazzy...  Add it to the list.  :)
