I don't mind answering your questions Robert, the information I've offered is known anyhow; it's not a secret. It's a shame I have to do some of your homework tho...

So you don't respect John Henry either then? He tried to out me, months before I outed Rhonda. What's funny tho, is I didn't see the battle cry of foul when he tried. Only when I did it.

Two years ago, I didn't know auk existed. kookology is a fancy word for troll; You actually teach trolling methods?

See: > http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/rar > http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/unrar The compression/decompression library has to be present in that code or it simply won't work. The fact you didn't know rar handles zips isn't my concern, the fact you have to find ported copies that may lack .zip support to defend your statement, is weak indeed. :) The original rar archiver by it's author handles zips and a variety of other formats. > If those can extract ZIP files, I'll eat my hat.

You're not fooling anyone. You don't embarras me in the least Robert. I snip everything that's not on point for the discussion, which is zip files and why you think ========== REMAINDER OF ARTICLE TRUNCATED ==========
