I'm totally with you, even if previous comments may have given a
different impression.

I'm probably the type of ally you would rather have as an enemy, but
if my behaviour is not found to be helpful, feel free to demand a
refund :-)

And I agree wholeheartedly: we can certainly make 2020 the year of
change. There may even be a wormhole between 2020 and 0x2020 (two
ASCII spaces) or 8224, by when surely Plan 9 will have conquered more
than just the Outer Space.

At this point I am starting to believe the superstition that there are
no coincidences. Your extremely sober comment is certainly one of many
such coincidences I have started to take note of. But then Isaac
Newton no doubt also believed in a hidden hand in his ageing years
:-).
