how numerous your exclamations are, granma!
how ample your queries!
well, sanjay, if you can't appreciate self-reflexivity, you're blind to
one popular form of expression in hackerdom. go pester richard stallman
about what the "g" in "gnu" stands for. if you don't get an answer you
like, tell him this kind of nomenclature was an "extremely mindless
action".
what's more, seeing perfectly good english words mistreated and
underemployed thus by undiscerning writers like you makes one want to
write in another language for a while - if just to give the po' li'l'
things a break.
tweak your Weltanschauung a little, sanjay. there're so many things to
do; what's the use quarreling?
by the way, that wasn't a dirty suggestion - look up your Worterbuch.
- t.
standard disclaimer: i 1. do not claim to be a hacker.
2. did not compare myself with rms.
