Oh. Well in hindsight, I guess your are right. After all I wouldn't
want to be a luser, much less associated with AOL. Gosh I never
realized. Maybe I just didn't read the right standards manual when I
started using the internet. Where did you learn all of this? No,
nevermind I don't care.

Yes, I got that. Except for the people saying they like them as-is.

So you are saying that the old 'vi .config; make oldconfig' trick is
officially unsupported? That's too bad, it was quite handy.

I'm fairly sure if he attached the BZ2'd sigs (exact same sigs, just bz2'd
and tacked on like they are currently) would offend at least three camps,
and have the benifit of showing up many broken mailers, filters, and
various other mail related items.

I sent this to the kbuild list about a week ago, and I received exactly
zero replies, so I'm posting to l-k now. This may mean that the idea is
totally stupid (but I'd like to know) or unquestionably good (that's what
I'd prefer :), well, maybe I'll get some feedback this time.
