[CentOS] For newcomers to the mailing list.
1. Don't top post. 2. Don't hijack another thread with new unrelated info. 3. Trim your responses. 4. Turn off html in your mail client. 5. Try and do some basic google searches on your problem. Quoted from: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16

Trim your responses.Leave in the attribution lines of any included previous posts, but leave out anything that is not germane to your response, and it is safe to delete prior posters' signatures and that CentOS mailing list tag at the bottom (it will get appended anyway).
