Participating in OT: threads or in flamewars does not mean that one likes such stuff. It could be for example to clear a misconception. People sometimes make outrighteous claims which are completely untrue (Ex:- vim/emacs does not do so and so) and one would like to correct such misconception. That does not mean they encourage/like them. In any case, I have always found Joey Hess' posts helpful and insighful. I hope people fuelling the OT: threads dont drive him away. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
