I, too, hope, that this is not the final decision, because I always
appreciated
the posts of Mr Gilmore. I know from private conversations, that he has
been
working with computers since 1949, so he is like a sort of living legend
for me.
It is not necessary that we share his opinions, and I, too, have
sometimes a hard
time to understand all of his posts, because I am not a native english
speaker - in fact,
I don't understand all - but that doesn't matter - there is much value
in them anyway.
So, if he stays with this decision, I hope that he will continue
following the list
and answer some questions offline - if he is interested.
Kind regards
Bernd

John Gilmore announced:
After discussions with Jean Snow, the list owner, I have concluded
that my views and, even more, controversial style are incompatible
with her and others' notions of what is proper here.
I am unwilling to conform to these proprieties, and this is therefore
my last post here.
Me too "Sorry to see you go. I always read your posts."(Andrew Joice)
I feel bad my screwed-up last post might have been one of those last
straws.
That post was too long-worded. After deleting the clumsy part I should
have
adequately expanded what was left or scrapped it altogether. In any case,
English is my 4th languge and I belong to those still working at the
trailing edge with no 64bit opportunities in sight.
I always found your posts worth reading, although at times only with
Google
Translator assistance. If quitting isn't your style, hopefully a new
*Voice
from Ashland* will emerge from this. The final decision of course is
yours !
