(again) Pray tell the subjects that won't offend. This is the only game in town, kids. Don't get me wrong, I'm new here, and I'm not an old hand at this I just believe this to (potentially) be the best networking solution for troll-hacking on the planet. I have tried several times to get 9 installed (then I can ask more relevant questions ... such as why is a raven like a writing desk? ;-) I like sticking with original inventors. I won't be the last with stupid questions, you can quote me. People are starting to see what the Plan can do. May I suggest another thread such as "Ask the Oracle, questions about Plan 9 we're sick of seeing" :-) All in good humour, my dear Sir. All of your discussions have been enlightening.
