Or use an MUA written some time after 1972; either approach will solve the
problem. :-)

I'm a little late on this, but I fail to see the utility of this
discussion. It would seem to me that this campus is plenty big for any
number of linux groups. For example, if the school of art wanted to have a
linux group focused on the use of gimp and 3-D rendering tools available
on linux, would someone object to this, too? If the B school wants to
have their own linux organization, then I say more power to them. Since
when did using linux qualify anyone to demand dictatorial territorial
jurisdiction?

The nationwide online survey by Ohio-based Progressive Insurance found
that 45 percent of married Americans ranked their cars as the thing
they considered most important to them.
In answer to separate questions regarding their preferences, only 6
percent rated their children as important and just 10 percent said their
spouse or significant other was important to them, the survey said.
The survey, conducted Jan. 5-15 and based on answers from 516
respondents, found that 84 percent of Americans love their cars while
32 percent have actually given their four-wheeled gas-guzzler a name.
Seventeen percent of male participants planned to buy their vehicle
a gift on Valentine's Day, the poll said.
