A thousand different paths, a thousand different

Hey, if I feel the need to use files instead

The recent elections kinda upset the Linux/Unix

Back to business.

 Are you saying we should disregard the emperor? Doesn't he teach us that our hate makes us stronger?

   Well, the 'woke' really did try to show us the
   power of higher, gigabuck-funded, hate  :-)
   But that's all over for now.
   In any case, I prefer to see these comp groups
   as being much better when they are collaborative,
   rather than derogative. Be you old boy or newbie,
   everybody has a different 'vision', a slightly
   different take on 'how it should be done'. Adding
   1000 cuts and ad-homs - all too common on usenet -
   does not represent any kind of improvement.
   Just wanted to say it.
