If only one person objects to this change, then it would be comparable to the change of enabling menus. If many object, that will be the crucial difference. The poll will tell us which one it is. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
