I'm glad to hear that. I hear it quite often. As in "if Erik Naggum thinks something is great, it must have some _significant_ merit." | ah, he was perhaps kinder and gentler over in comp.emacs. Probably not. Just a lot fewer arrogant ignorants with an attitude. | here's a free hint for avoiding naggum flamage. erik usually doesn't | turn on the blowtorch until a couple of messages have gone back and | forth. resist the urge to respond. this will end the pain. i have | *never* seen erik pile on a second flame without a response to the | first. Thanks. And this is indeed good advice, as is "if shot at, look for the "trespassers will be shot" sign, don't just return the fire". #:Erik -- Solution to U.S. Presidential Election Crisis 2000: Let Texas secede from the Union and elect George W.
