Re: [Bacula-users] Never Mind - Given up on Bacula

Can we please stop feeding the troll?

This list has a lot of really good, useful information from a lot of  
informed and insightful people; but, this is junk.

Can we please move on to doing what this list does very well, helping  
out bacula users?

Thank you.

        John Kloss.
