If you phrased this slightly more gently, people may in fact agree with you. Although I find my workstation quite a useful mail agent, perhaps for all the wrong reasons (the best way to describe it: acme/Mail is *fast*!). But Plan 9 is a great environment to experiment in. Perhaps you ought to look upon it as the Petri dish for information technology: concepts grow a great deal faster in Plan 9 than they do elsewhere, for all the _right_ reasons. ++L
