List Protocol

[Greg Montalbano]

Murthy is correct, of course;  however, for some of us it's not that simple.
Those of you working on shiny new systems with googleplex RAM, lightyear
speed and imported little-girl hairs might not be able to relate to the
problems of those of us working on pre-Columbian systems --- I don't even
have a COMPUTER;  this is being typed on an old IBM dumb terminal, routed
through the University's computer mail system.  My available editing
options range from crude to nonexistant.  I've always felt slightly guilty
about replying to your posts with pages of baggage attatched;  maybe my
only option (until they update my office into this century) is to
re-type the sections I want to quote & take it from there.
Sure don't want to PISS ANYBODY OFF.
Might get FLAMED.
Wouldn't want that.
