Hello -*Sue*-,

thanks for correcting me.  I am a reformed man now.
Still, the only thing that brings this list to life is an
"offtopic post". Have you ever thought about this?
Have you ever thought in your life? You'd be still using Multics if it were
not for two men who broke some rules and had fun. Besides, they did
some thinking.

I was not "trying others to believe" me, believe me.
The lie was too transparaent for "others" to argue.
As for "cheap thrills" that what YOU get when a person is asking for
help on this list, this is the only way to show some unnecessary and
misplaced "authority" you are imposing on yourself. Your life will
become much easier when you learn not to take _yourself_ too seriously.
That's a newbie excercise in becoming happy.

Have fun, -*Sue*- , make your bathroom crystal clear.

Ted, your book is still good :)Thank you again.
