Vester, in my opinion, your answer is inaccurate in several ways. First, a fair number of 9front users are here. But users of other releases are here too. The scope of 9fans is therefore strictly greater than the scope of 9front -- I say that as a satisfied 9front user.
If a user of 9front asks a question that applies to Plan 9 in general, it is best asked and answered here, as it will reach a wider audience, as a question and an answer. In this case, the question is a basic ndb question. The answer is applicable to everything that uses ndb, i.e., every plan 9 system. Please take the content of the question into consideration before writing a response next time.
