dead release (was: inittab)

Hello...


Every once in a while you post to this list.  RH 7.3 (Valhalla), as
great as it was, is hopelessly out of date.  go here
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo  as join a current list like
fedora-list.  And it you are still using RH 7.3, *stop* .  get something
current like fedora 12, or RHEL 5 ( or Suse, debian, etc)

Maybe someone @ redhat can turn off posting to this list? ? ?

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
