I'm sure you could have a ton of field days, describing for hours all kinds of irrelevant crap. Maybe you can read a book about adapting to different standards within different social groups instead of lecturing to people who don't care. It's a mailing list. Calling people stupid is not 'disproportionate aggression,' it's just calling stupid people stupid. Sorry if your life has caused you to consider honesty 'aggressive.' > No, I want a terminal emulator that can behave like a terminal > emulator. Last time I checked xmessage wasn't a terminal emulator. Which extant terminal emulators behave the way your proposed functionality describes? -- # Kurt H Maier
