it was in response to not wanting to listen.

i went to some trouble to reply; citing doctrine, a paper and
personal experience of distributed software repositories.

total waste of my energy and /n/dump.

if i could be bothered, which now i can't, i coulda set up
the url solution in the time it took me to write the damn
message.

yeah, i just checked it out, i have the window open,
i can create the a/c and the page.

hell, think of a good name for it and I'LL DO IT.  naming
conventions are important.  no CVS though.  that's too
complex -- at this stage.

simple stuff works.  see how it works, learn, improve, loop.

design top down, implement bottom up.

just like NASA used to do until that shuttle thing they DESIGNED.
the engineers told feynman that the SRB problem was well known and
that the probability of an accident was 1 in 300.  turned out
to be a lot less than that because NASA management wouldn't listen
to them.

jmk was right about one thing:  drivel; this thing has been thrashed
to death and NOBODY has done anything.
