I have stayed out of this until now, but I have to vent.

Why are we trying to put a failed system on a good one?

Posted April 23 1998.  I test them occasionally.  They still seem to work rather
well.  Too well in fact.

Why?

Because FrontPage is a Brain-damaged proggie that insists on su type access to your
site.  Isn't that just lovely?  And FP extensions give it to them!

Don't get radical about many things, but here I am sending mail out of my root
account because I didn't want to wait to get to a regular user account.

FrontPage extensions, brrrrrrr.

But if you are going to try to use the garbage like FrontPage from the other end, at
least go to linuxberg and get Demoroniser.  It is 8.5K and does a wonderful job of
cleaning up Microsoft errors and HTML incompatibilities.

I am not disparaging your efforts, mind you.  I am asking you to re-think your
PURPOSE.
