Well, to many thread forks to properly respond with quotes :P. Here is
the last one I clicked on.

This one does sometimes, but I am not what is called by many _average_.

But the green is _so pretty_ ;P. I really dont care that much, but it
feels good on my retina (guran, shut :P) to vary from the constant white
black black white by using other chroms and varying within the spectrum
some, wearing out my nerves less, and keeping me focused. The study
stating that black on white was best, even more so than white on black,
resulted that way not because of physical makeup, but because that is
how we are changed. Having it look like a thoroughly dead person is not
appealing, as it looks like xemacs in console mode (black and white
BTW). It is up to whomever, not me. But the yellow on green (if u r
not color blind) is a big pretty plus.

Then it is not a huge problem, except for newbies who cant use cfengine.
You ever heard of a lin newbie using emacs?

Don't sweat the small stuff. Not until it comes back and bites you in
the [word that crozat took out of pan description].

No, I took no offense at your email. Can barely see how it was so bad
anyway. Not to me. Others would have possibly been irked (apparently
someone took you off to the side in the To: field and harangued you :P).
Humorous and cheesy as always,
