Alzheimer's disease at only 17 years of age? That's a pretty unusual thing, but I suppose it could happen. But I don't think that's what's going on here -- once I get an answer to a question and I understand it, the desire may be satisfied, and if the question was too trivial to me at the time, I just won't bother to remember it and forget it. Or, of course, I may not really have asked the question and it's _you_ that is having the problem, not me. That's where Google comes in to play. It has an archive that's more reliable than forgetful human memory. And I googled this group for every thread I started, I didn't see any of them on this question. If you want me to read every message in those threads, that would take many hours and I just don't have that type of free time. Even more this doesn't help me with understanding Kastrup's answer here. Addendum: Just spent (wasted) around a half hour skimming through my own posts on my threads, and couldn't find the question. Although I didn't skim through them all due to time concerns, I used my memory, reason, and self-knowledge to determine which ones were and weren't worth furhter looking, but still could not find one instance of asking this question. The threads I thought were most relevant were those were "profit" was being discussed as that's where these type of questions would tend to pop up, but no luck. I looked through some of the GPL threads too. Why can't you just _say_ _where_ I asked this Q., so I can go there and review the answers you say I was given? Otherwise I'll just be wasting more time looking over and over at these things and not finding anything. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
