Procmail is a wonderful thing. ;)
>To make a long story short, it's not Linux related,
This is where I disagree. What I've seen so far is a meaningful
exchange about where Linux is and how it stacks up to other operating
systems (which necessarily, by definition of the word "comparison",
necessitates some discussion of those other OSs). I figured when I made
the original post that it was one of those one-off messages that get
discarded (and from your tone, I'll bet that's what you wish it was ;),
but instead it evolved into an intelligent, cool-headed debate of the
relative merits of each. What's wrong with that?
>and this is not a M$ list.
Agreed. ;)
I suspect that we are in violent agreement as to what our objective is
on this list, ie, have a discussion about Linux (and possibly related
issues?) with other Linux users in the Philadelphia area, but that we
disagree on what that means, exactly.
