Re: NATHAN and the FAQ Dilemna

Paul Francis Gilbert <pfg@yallara.cs.rmit.EDU.AU> spawned virtual particles writing:
: Well, at least you seem to have improved from your "Devil candied tongue"

Ah.. your finger musta slipped and added that s to spam.  I'm sure you can
count beyond 1.

So what.  If it's so important, and you can't use lynx, why don't you take
it on as your project to convert it to plain text and post it for everybody.
Then, bask in the glory that you can do what Nathan can't, and it's a useful
service to this newsgroup.

: Despite this, some of you seem to be quite willing to suck up to him, and

: that I'm dealing with morons.

Are you and Sam clones or something?  I fail to understand this need to dip

I don't see you doing more about it than complaining.. If you can do a better
job.. prove it.. Otherwise, stick with what exists.  That's what an Apple II
is about. :P

I can count the number of people complaining about this faq in one hand;
maybe two.  If that's all the readers of this newsgroup, then this matter
is even more moot.  It just isn't a big enough problem for all this huff-puff.

I have friends throwing ice cream into their mountain dews and calling it the
Jeremy Dew Float special.  I don't have a problem at all.  It's not hurting
anybody.  Just a matter of words.

This I think is much more constructive than idling to attack the followups.
There are much better articles to read, games to play, programs to program,
