If you phrased this slightly more gently, people may in fact agree
with you.  Although I find my workstation quite a useful mail agent,
perhaps for all the wrong reasons (the best way to describe it:
acme/Mail is *fast*!).

But Plan 9 is a great environment to experiment in.  Perhaps you ought
to look upon it as the Petri dish for information technology: concepts
grow a great deal faster in Plan 9 than they do elsewhere, for all the
_right_ reasons.
