Hi, Rjack, please understand - I'm not whining, I'm trying to help you get your point across; I'm giving you feedback intended to be helpful. > A kill-file will save you untold anguish, as the characters from my > posts that appear on your LCD screen will certainly force you to read > them. That's like saying an air raid shelter will save the anguish of bombs. Again, as a matter of interest, there are two different verbs in German meaning to persuade: "ueberzeugen" means to persuade by means of reason; "ueberreden" means to "persuade" by browbeating, shouting, intimidation. What you are trying to do here is the latter. It's a shame there aren't two corresponding words in English. You may not have noticed, but nobody's engaging you any more in serious debate about your idea. It's been exhausted, talked out. You even admit you've posted several hundred times on the topic. Why can't you talk about something else, something others are interested in too? That's what newsgroups and mailing lists are for. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
