OT- third hand was: Re: Debian has turned unusable.

2004-04-12 Thread Cybe R. Wizard

Yea, verily, I say unto you that on this date (Mon, 12 Apr 2004 14:57:40
-0600) Monique Y. Mudama [EMAIL PROTECTED] didst appear within
my Magick Viewing Screen and, being somewhat pleasantly supplicatory,
did polemicize thusly:

 On the third hand,

Since the 1993 printing of Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's sequel to
The Mote In God's Eye, The Gripping Hand, a tale of three armed
aliens, that rather uncomfortable but often useful phrase, on the third
hand, has given way in lots of arenas to, on the gripping hand.
I know it's not Debian related, but, whatthehell, someone might be
interested and begin using it.

Otherwise, if anyone is particularly offended by this post, either flame
or bozofy me and I won't do it again.

I have read both.  I found the first interesting; the second
disappointing.

I've far exceeded my yearly OT quota, and it's only April, so if you are
interested in discussing the books further, feel free to email me
directly.

 Otherwise, if anyone is particularly offended by this post, either
 flame or bozofy me and I won't do it again.
