hum, complex problem. the only seneca i know is lucius annaeus seneca (the latin spelling could be wrong). he was male, but seneca was actually his surname, and after all i'm not a native english speaker, so who knows ? :-) pietro. --To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
