Write an essay about it.  No-one'll read it, but you'll feel better.[1]

Sadly, I think Rick has lost the ability to recognise humour, or even sad
attempts at humour.  Or is it just unfashionable to admit that one doesn't
get a joke?

I find this whole thread frustrating, there has been nothing but
misinterpretation after misinterpretation.  Wether Rick is a stubborn wanker
or Jeff is a whiny schoolkid, who the fuck cares?  Deliberately
formatting your mail so that the string /^begin  / appears doesn't help
teaching people who use broken mailers about their options, but if you don't
care, then I'm not going to attempt to change your opinion -- I really don't
care.

For a monkey on crack, it sure doesn't seem happy.

Gar, and on the subject; I had joined crackmonkey under the impression it
would be a thriving free software list, but in all my time here I can only
recall the announcement of GAR.  The rest of it's been pretty fucking
boring.
