But that's the user's choice, not yours.
~arch is supported here. arch is supported here. The user is free to make
their own choice and that choice is not up to you. If you disagree with the
user's choice, feel free to click the "Next Unread Mail" button.
Instead you like to rip the user's head off and flame them into the middle of
next week, for usually no other apparent reason than they have not made the
same choices as you.
Remember something Volker, this tidbit will serve you well in interpersonal
relations:
The user cannot possibly be wrong all the time, just as it is not possible for
you to be right all the time. That's a hard one to swallow. Having done so is
a sure indicator of having grown up. [The converse is not necessarily true].
