Subject: Re: [9fans] How to implement a moral equivalent ofautomounter
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 5c5056c0-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

i don't understand this thread.  the "moral" equivalent? surely you
mean "functional" or "rough" or "approximate" or some other adjective,
not "moral".  the phrase "moral equivalent" originates in the "moral
equivalent of war".  using it in this context is wrong, misguided,
maybe punishable.

the only moral thing about the automounter is that it's not running on
this here machine.  life is imperfect and morality is weaker on other
machines i use.
