This list, as any other mailing list nowadays (I guess) is distracting people away because the mail does not have 'like button'. Or 'button like'. But, like what? What button? There probably is a really huge gap in expectations how things are meant to work. My way is reading and writing with full size keyboard and terminal emulator. Not gonna to be appreciated by those who think they can replace computer with some stuff in their pocket. >From the page: # The problem with no response is that there are five possible # interpretations: # # 1.

I think it is mostly 3 and 4, for whatever reason, like conspiracy to kill email and move all comms into push messaging directly to cell phones, plus people dumbing down because they get more and more shorter and shorter messages faster and faster. Overally, if you ask me a question which cannot be answered with conventional explanation/wisdom, I will recall some conspiracy theory or make up one on demand. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
