In my previous posts, I thought to provoke someone into telling me the correct names for things by using names more reminiscent of grade school, but to my astonishment (and embarrassment) others have replied using that ridiculous nomenclature "Print#1 and Print#2". Doesn't that seem more than a little ridiculous to you? To stop me from using words out of kindergarten, you merely need to supply me with better ones (heck, point me at a proper man page that uses them, I can read) and I will immediately begin using the better names. I mean, isn't this a bit ridiculous? OK, I'm going to reply to one of the other posts, regarding the actual topic, but I wanted this plea not to become submerged in other concerns. The only reason to reply to this post would be to give me better names to use, as described in my other posts. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHeA7Nz62J6PPcoOkRAtLOAJ9IBmbdX8oAv95fA+jtYT+rnPxrogCfRtb0 Y3tafYbMjBFXQbtSLWaFnQI= =XwMF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
