no, none of that was really necessary. i don't understand you. i don't think i want to.   here's a watered down version of what i do sample nights and weekends. www.patmathews.net/1.mp3 increment by one.       someone who reads this list, taught me how to make mp3's from my digital piano just this weekend.  you know who you are, thank you.       there are huge gaps in what i know computer wise.  some stuff that's spinal to me has you people scratching your heads.  if you think that analyzing everything, groping for answers constantly and remembering what you have stored and where it's stored, and what the most efficient way of storing it and retrieving it, is the result of brain damage due to having "sampled the acid" then you should also consider that this is a public forum and that we are not antagonists.  we are strangers attempting to establish electronic communication for other strangers.   that's way weirder than acid, and more productive i might add.  friend, i grew up where food was not readily available.  a big priority for me in high school was not acid but the next concert.  i was cellist.  i'm now a composer.  imail on a cluster is my day gig.  it's randomly working or broken from one day to the next.  so i've taken it upon myself to burn the candle both ends and in the middle so that it will work reliably.  the whole problem of this is:  other people, my betters, have it working right.   i don't.   when i see other people here and their ways of expressing themselves i paint a mental picture of them.  what should you look like i wonder?  i assume that the others who read this also have lives.  but until i get it working i'm going to keep doing it all wrong.   like this dir foo.txt>>foo.txt   in a place where there is no foo.txt.           ----- Original Message ----- From: Todd Lahman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2001 02:07 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum]RFC's? off topic Q I get the impression you've sampled the acid too many times over the years. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Mathews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2001 7:53 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum]RFC's? off topic Q > > > http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcsearch.html > > thank you sir. > here's the engine i was sort of looking for right off the same site.  the > more things change the more they stay the same.  it's blecherous.  i should > just ftp to some box that has this (maybe an ftp.ietf or whatever)   pull > down the ascii, research them on the weekends and put together an m$ db. > might be an opportunity to learn sql, UNLESS someone has already invented > this wheel, before i go google-ing and hotbotting around, i thought i'd ask > summa youse guys.   maybe drive some traffic to your sites or whateva... > > there seems to be a little more to this than mere RFC canonicity, i keep > banging my head on the cold hard floor of reality. > >  i may be burned at the stake for this heresy: it seems that some rfc > compliant apps are more rfc compliant than others.... so,   ...what places > discuss the application  and non application etc?  i have no formal > education other than a few years as a music major. > > what am i saying? > i have attained some good judgment, > good judgment comes from experience. > experience? > that comes from poor judgment. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Rick > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2001 10:19 PM > Subject: Re: [IMail Forum]RFC's? off topic Q > > > http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html > > > Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > to be removed from this list. > > An Archive of this list is available at: > http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ > Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
