It takes a lot for me to get cranky around here, but I'm afraid Aarg! has done it.

I don't know why nobody thought of that before. You conveniently cut what I said selectively, sarcastically replying to only pieces of it. You completely ignored much of the substance, such as the fact that in a correctly operating OS, MMUs+file permissions do more or less stop processes from seeing each others data if the OS functions correctly. So, to summarize, you ignored most of what I said, but managed to be incredibly rude. I've noticed you doing the same to lots of others. Here's a strong suggestion for the future, Anonymous. Never anger the moderator of a moderated mailing list. You can be the agent provocateur all day long, but you can't be snide and unresponsive. I'm going to ask that you go back and respond to my message without being insulting and without being selective about what sections you quote. If you want another copy, well, I don't know how to send it to you -- I can only hope you saved it. Until then, I'm not forwarding your mail. If you want to play your game here, you're going to have to do it politely and reasonably. Sorry for doing this in public but I have no other way of communicating with you.
