[9fans] plumber - more versatile than previously thought

[9fans] plumber - more versatile than previously thought

[Russ Cox]

I apologize for the off-topic spam, but this is pretty funny.

In his own words [*] this is what this guy does:

    Here's what I do ...

    1. Spider the internet 24-7 on your behalf to find web
    sites that match your web sites theme.
    2. Review each site manually, one by one, to select
    only thae [sic] best rated and most relevant ones for
    inclusion in your link directory.

So apparently the fact that I received the message below
indicates that he has decided that Gorka's post about
plumbing URLs to the links web browser [**] is relevant to
people searching for plumbers (of water and physical pipes)
via findaplumber.com.

Re: [9fans] plumber - more versatile than previously thought

[Bruce Ellis]

up costing $40.  get stallman onto this - OpenSewer - all turds

Indeed, I have a so named system - my cable modem.

what i said could be misconstrued that way; but no.

in fact things (e.g.  kenfs) require so little attention that in those
occasions when i need to do something to them, i have to read the man
pages again to remember the commands.

Re: [9fans] plumber - more versatile than previously thought

[Bruce Ellis]

well plan9 has a competent and diligent plumber.

Plan B skateboards predates the Plan B operating system by a good margin.

For that matter, it *might* predate the Plan 9 system that Plan B is based
on; they were roughly contemporaneous within an epsilon of a couple of
years.

I don't think, however, that either had a particularly profound influence
on the other.
