Procmail is a wonderful thing. ;) >To make a long story short, it's not Linux related, This is where I disagree. What I've seen so far is a meaningful exchange about where Linux is and how it stacks up to other operating systems (which necessarily, by definition of the word "comparison", necessitates some discussion of those other OSs). I figured when I made the original post that it was one of those one-off messages that get discarded (and from your tone, I'll bet that's what you wish it was ;), but instead it evolved into an intelligent, cool-headed debate of the relative merits of each. What's wrong with that? >and this is not a M$ list. Agreed. ;) I suspect that we are in violent agreement as to what our objective is on this list, ie, have a discussion about Linux (and possibly related issues?) with other Linux users in the Philadelphia area, but that we disagree on what that means, exactly.
