It happens. If that happens, it will give him enormous satisfaction & other things will get reduced. He should also seriously consider giving career option to few. When people see there is a chance of living with OpenBSD, then the count tickles. I will try OpenBSD this week & write about it in Kaniyam :-) -- Amachu ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Now that the [TIP] tag has disappeared, his emails remain. Although, IMO, recently his emails deviate in part from a technical viewpoint to a subjective viewpoint, which invariable brings in other members to the discussion. I hope, there are beginners in the list who benefit from his emails and the following discussions. -- 0 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] Why these emails, Girish? (Was Re: the vi editor)
I took a long-ish break from this list and returned only recently, partly because it is fascinating to note that while Linux User Group lists around the country are more or less disappeared, ilugc marches on, and perhaps even gaining in strength by some measure. One of the interesting things about this list is this series of monologue-mode gyaan mails from Girish. I wonder if there is some history behind these, etc. Or does the list serve as a brain dump area for the current 'regulars'. Just curious, nothing else. -Karra On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 5:16 PM, Girish Venkatachalam < girishvenkatacha...@gmail.com> wrote: > By Vi, most people mean vim though nvi and vim are different from vi. > > Anyway let us talk about vi the same way we talk about vim. > [...] ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
