Here Here. Please, those who write wishing bad things to happen to others: if you have any respect for *yourself*, abstain from personal attacks, no matter how justified you are, or how stupid and provocative the other (me for example) is. Unfortunately, it's not so simple to undo the immense damage that this does to ones mind, body and reputation. Maybe as one famous person once said in this context, there is a case for procmail filtering of the opinions of those you can't abide. Or, simply knowing in yourself that the person or persons advocating the wrong opinion is wrong, and that most other readers or contributors will realise this themselves. Lastly, those such as Mr Kenneway, Losh, Watson, etc who have a lot at stake haven't seen fit to respond like this, so why should others ? > > --Roman Shterenzon, UNIX System Administrator and Consultant > [ Xpert UNIX Systems Ltd., Herzlia, Israel.
