Its true that *nix has a a rich culture... but a culture only by
adapting not by forcing adherence
I think we need to evolve a new method.. I am not sure how/why.. but
"cringing" may not help.
For starters, maybe we can cut some slack o phone users? Those using
PCs/laptops must still follow
whatever is decided. After all if something is inconvenient, it
shouldn't survive.

Given all that, I'd prefer he interleaved posting :) .
