Yeah, don't let my message from earlier scare you off...  I was just
cranky at the prospect of a long day of classes ;) The point of a
mailing list isn't to see how few messages we can get in a month,
although of course it's not a blog either.

I've done more than my fair share of posting about fairly obvious
stuff--at least you've beat a lot of us by not coming in and starting
a flame war because something doesn't work exactly as it does under
Unix (or, more puzzlingly, Windows).  Maybe I should make a wiki page,
"Things that are the same as in Unix", to offset our constant
statement "Plan 9 is not Unix".
