What has that got to do with putting in hacks to get round mistakes?

Are YOU really serious? Who said anything about punishment?
My point is that
a) we shouldn't be putting in hacks to ameliorate user mistakes:
do you want undelete in there too?
b) Plan9 already has this nice-flexible FS architecture
which gets around lots of the directory shuffling
necessary on other OSs.

a) It sounds like you have run out of steam if all you can do is misconstrue
my meaning.
b) You make me sound like a sadist according to your logic,
when in fact I'm a sado-masochist, since I'm punishing myself too!
Can we now please agree to differ?
This has gone on long enough.
Cheers,
Dave.
