> Dan makes a good point about educating members of the list, and i havelearned a great deal from this and other lists, since my first Mac in 1984. However, I am an enthusiastic Mac user, not a power user, and frankly have no interest in Linux or in 7 or 8 different e-mail clients, so I just scroll past those parts, quietly cussing the long attachments.
There are a ton a UNIX lists out there so I am nt sure that Lowendmac will add a UNIX discussion list, but who knows. I am willing to let some conversation on 'Nix applications slide. I don't see how a little of it will hurt, but I am not sure that we need to educate list members on Pine. Some new list members may greatly enjoy this OT, but I have already received complaints from a few saying that this list is not what they signed up for.
It has to be balanced. That's all I am saying on the topic.

I've been thinking on this, since this is a list for the G series of PowerMacs and they run OS X which includes UNIX built-in, can we discuss the built-in UNIX stuff that comes with OS X? This standard would put the Pine Problem thread to rest, since pine's not built-in to OS X.
