[jkh beats his head against the wall]

But I'm saying we DID give warning!  Lots of warning!  More than
adequate warning!  The problem is that people don't friggin' LISTEN to
warnings when we give them!  We might as well be talking to a field of
stumps when we say "Sup is going away soon!  Everyone upgrade to CVSup
and CTM OK?  OK??"

The fact is that no matter what we did, including parking the Goodyear
Blimp over your house with a flashing "Upgrade to CVSup!  Upgrade,
Warner, Upgrade!" banner on its belly, you probably wouldn't upgrade
until forced to at gunpoint.  You have other demands on your schedule
and upgrades are a hassle, we know that, but please don't misidentify
a human nature issue as a byproduct of "volunteer organization", OK? :-)

> Hmmm, hand't thought of the ftp site option.  Which machine is this?

[jkh wonders if Warner has had his coffee this morning]

I could mention one obvious choice, but wouldn't that sort of be an
insult to your intelligence? :-)
