Ah, but the two are different. We are trying to take Freedom and reliability to the masses. We aren't trying to take vi and emacs to the masses. (/me shudders at the though of try to teach his mother vi) If all you want to do is check your email, surf the web, and edit your term paper in OpenOffice.org, we can help you but there's really no point in being a member. If you want to write/maintain a webmail application, run the next great site everyone surfs to, or write your paper in LaTeX then the UUG is the place for you. I don't fire off a complaint everytime I get an MS document attached to an email at work. I don't tell the high mucky mucky of OIT that he looks ridiculous sending out blue email. (I assume none of you will run off to tell him, and that he has no idea nor does he care who I am.) Each community has its norms and some of them have reasons. Please don't push people's buttons. Especially not here. And if you say anything bad about vim I'll come over there and shove your keyboard.... oh, wait, never mind. ;-) -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fighting for a kinder, gentler UUG.
