sorry for the "S/N ratio", occasionally we use humor to break the monotony. a commercial linux is funny. as funny as bsdi. i sent the vi -vs- emacs message to make a point, and that point was: "let's not start another holy war". sarcasm in order to make a valid point is sometimes needed in order to drive a point home. in this mailing list are probably some of the brightest minds in the world, and there will soon be an answer to the previous gentleman's questions concerning tcp/ip oddities. if we are going to be as involved with computers as we are, we must have both a finely developed sense of dark humor, as well as that of sarcasm. words to live by.
