Well Saturday for you is sometimes Friday for us, so we'll pretend you got
the insult in just in time.
[terribly cruel insult snipped, since it's not friday in any time zone

"With enough eyes, all idiotic typos are shallow." That was, of course, a
test for the lyx-devel list, to see whether anyone actually cares about the
web site. Since it took so long, I know noone does, so I'll just delete all
the files now.... (I am a master fisher for compliments.)

I thought you might feel that way. That's why I got the password changed
To something I can spell.

If I weren't so insulted, I would say that what you get done even when
you're busy with other things is pretty impressive.

While I'm very excited about LyX, and I often call hacks sexy, I have yet to
actually get *aroused* by even the finest coding. I'm not sure whether to
assume this is a mistranslation, or whether you're trying to open up new
realms of sexual diversity.

I would volunteer, but I'm busy. For example, I played the card game "war"
with my nephew on saturday, and was thinking that the game is totally
deterministic (as long as you pick up the cards consistently), so much so
that a computer could play it. I had no recourse but to actually test my
hypothesis, so today I coded up a Perl script and accompanying module to
allow you (well, the computer, actually) to play war. I was going to work on
the revtex4.layout, but as you can see I had more important things on my
mind.
