Except for one: Unix. PS. Regarding KILL files, conflicts due to cabin fever and sleep deprivation left a terrible hangover at the time but not even my hangovers last almost a decade, and besides I already posted a post saying I was forgiving everyone including myself. This was 6-8y ago. Today I try not to deal with guilt/apologies whatsoever anymore but at the time it was genuine. If anyone didn't read it maybe it was because I was still in their KILL files :) Ha ha ha! But anyway I have no desire to re-live any of that so as the saying goes, altho I always think it sounds a silly thing to say, "this is the last thing I'll say about it". PPS. With Gnus, we recommend *scoring* instead of killing. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
