Trying to change every piece of software in existence is a waste of time and energy for a problem that isn't that serious. IMO, that's the *real* objection; most of the arguments are justifications for that position or are about things that we'd get over if this issue were addressed (like the silly words -- there are sillier words in English that just don't sound that way because we're used to them). -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
