I think it is obvious that this signature line was not about Clinton but about a certain cowboy. While there are urban myths about the IQ of those two guys, it seems that Clinton has around 133 and that there is no data known about the other, but it is assumed that he is not really dumb either. Still his politics show little under- standing of how the world does and should work in 2006. Clinton focused on health insurance, drug abuse, weapon abuse and poverty problems, as well as on being more careful with state money. I recently read a news article that the whole world has spent 890 000 000 000 bucks on weapons and war last year, half of which were spent by the USA (considerably less than 10pc of the number of people on earth). That is considerably LESS wise in my opinion than, for example, joining the Kyoto treaties. But of course all of this is not DOS-related. Sorry for being off-topic.

Re: [Freedos-user] Want to read FreeDOS mails in a sensible order
Hi, I've never understood why mailing lists are so popular; surely NNTP is a far better and more efficient way to discuss things, plus it has the advantage of being able to manage archives and reduce bandwidth? Why would anyone want to send out and receive 100s of emails when you could simply view headers on a server and choose the ones of interest?

USENET is also pretty stuffed with spam. At least on the mailing lists, we have spam filtering to keep the noise down.
