 Sorry, we all didn't come up on the same track.
A thousand different paths, a thousand different
styles of apps/needs/solutions. Computers let
you DO that.
 Hey, if I feel the need to use files instead
of 'pipes' then I WANT TO USE FILES INSTEAD
OF PIPES. Don't like it ? Tuff titty. Any
'contributions' will be to tell me how to
maximize that approach - not to rain down piss.

are and will be other approaches/reasons)
 The recent elections kinda upset the Linux/Unix
groups - a lot of politics promoted a lot of
threads. Well, the elections are OVER now.
Back to business.
 BUT ... consider ... "back to business" does
not need to mean "back to old habits". We all
can do BETTER, move towards the future instead
of being at each others throats over NOTHING.

 Most everybody here seems to have been in the
groove since (or during) PUNCH CARDS. Let's
not be petty. We all did it OUR WAY.
 Hey, I remember the giant handful of punch
cards - DON'T DROP 'EM !  :-)

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

 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.
