Given the number of times I have been enlightened by this group and shown
to be clearly wrong, I suppose I am not a member of "club entitlement".
When I make a query, I am looking for examples of why it is done the way
it is. I have provided examples of why the way it works is a problem.
Members of "club Plan-9" insist that that is just the way it works, as
opposed to here is a counterexample why the way it works is better. There
is a difference between valid arguments and club allegiance.
