Threads - was: Re: simple question about a "rule"

[Nelson Garcia]

Just a minor note from the bleachers related to the mailing list.  If you
change the topic of a thread it would make it easier on some of us if you
also changed the subject line of your message.
There are some good tips here that make this thread a "keeper", I'd just
like to be able to distinguish it from the initial thread under this subject
which was about ipchains rules.
Aloha,
Nelson
