The dates you're looking for...
...are last December sometime. I think I recall it being somewhere around December 6th or so.
You'll note that the list archive monthlies stop from sometime mid-2002, and resume mid-2003. Ish. The only way to see those messages is to download the entire archives in mbox format (linked at the top of the archives page, I believe), and scroll through 'em that way.

Ahhh, ok, well, I'd have to get John to help me accomplish that, I think, I don't have a clue how to download something, and I usually don't download anything without his help. Thanks Yendor, that's a real help! I just read ALL the rest of the archives. ;) Nightowl >8# P.S. I also emailed Rob, I got his email from the list. :) "I learned to be the door, instead of the mat!"

John helped me download it this morning before he left for work, and I'm about to have breakfast and read! Thanks again, Yendor!!!! Nightowl >8# "I learned to be the door, instead of the mat!" "illegitimi nil carborundum"

I admire your tenacity.
Reading all that old email, that is.

Re: I admire your tenacity.
Thanks. :) One thing I love is research, so it was right up my alley.

P.S. I have to admit though, a lot of it was techno-greek to me. ;)

Your research abilities are to be admired.
You might extend your lines of research to determine exactly whom it is useful to argue with.
There are some here, Moen one of them, with whom there is no point debating. They are often a good read if you are interested in the topic, but you would have a better chance of changing the Ten Commandments than their viewpoints.
If you are in the pit fighting for points, rock on! If you are trying to establish a meeting of minds to come to conclusions on this, try scrabble with multi-universe dictionaries instead; has better probabilities for success. You cannot out-bombast Moen. Can't. It's a waste of bandwidth.
Please extend your talents and intellect into other topics. You\ufffdre pretty good.
Please let this die on the vine. It\ufffds over. Karsten will come back or not. It\ufffds his choice. He must be aware that he is still welcome. He must be equally aware that some think he is a pain in the ass. He should be used to that by now.
I only note parenthetically that I quite recently have DSL at home, so I can tolerate the right-shift with little pain. A couple of weeks ago, this would have been a severe pain in my ass. Mercy should be given to the low bandwidth guys. If you are going to continue, you might consider starting a new topic like, oh, \ufffdYAN really BIG tempest in a teapot: be prepared to wait for loading\ufffd, 'cause this can grow indefinably. And it will.
You have acquitted yourself well; now quit while it is still your choice. Please. You done good. It\ufffds out of your hands. There are no more points to make. Let it wind out quietly and hopefully some dignity.
Cheers,
Hugh

Re: ObLRPD: Eat your failures.
Ahhh. I've been meaning to ask someone, but what is an ObLRPD?
I know what the ICLRPD's are... and what do you mean by "Eat your failures?"
Thanks.

P.S. I still haven't EVER had anyone pick something from what I posted as an LRPD, so I'm still awaiting that revered moment someday. ;)

Re: Your research abilities are to be admired.
You might extend your lines of research to determine exactly whom it is useful to argue with. There are some here, Moen one of them, with whom there is no point debating. They are often a good read if you are interested in the topic, but you would have a better chance of changing the Ten Commandments than their viewpoints. I realize from reading a number of Rick's posts in the mailing list, that he is not someone whom you can get to capitulate or to change his view, and that was not my intent here either. I simply was challenged by him to validate where I "got my info" and I have done so. As I stated in another post, somewhere in here, the next move is his. I'm not interested in a huge flame war or long drawn out debate. If you are in the pit fighting for points, rock on! If you are trying to establish a meeting of minds to come to conclusions on this, try scrabble with multi-universe dictionaries instead; has better probabilities for success. You cannot out-bombast Moen. Can't. It's a waste of bandwidth. I'm not sure what "in the pit fighting for points" means, but if it means was I attempting to justify and back up my statements in here, yes, I was, and I feel that I have, no matter what Rick might come back with. I am not trying to outdo Rick, only clarify where my info came from, and as I said, I believe I have. Please extend your talents and intellect into other topics. You?re pretty good. Thanks, I'll try. :) Please let this die on the vine. It?s over. Karsten will come back or not. It?s his choice. He must be aware that he is still welcome. He must be equally aware that some think he is a pain in the ass. He should be used to that by now. Well, I am still interested in knowing what Karsten wants to "correct" regarding my statements, but as with Rick, the next move is Karsten's. I challenged him to come back here and tell me what he was wanting to tell me. Guess we'll see. I only note parenthetically that I quite recently have DSL at home, so I can tolerate the right-shift with little pain. A couple of weeks ago, this would have been a severe pain in my ass. Mercy should be given to the low bandwidth guys. If you are going to continue, you might consider starting a new topic like, oh, ?YAN really BIG tempest in a teapot: be prepared to wait for loading?, 'cause this can grow indefinably. And it will. Well, I thought at least TWICE about making a new thread, because I know people do not like the left shift, but last time I tried making a new thread, someone chewed me out for branching out the topic... so I'm not sure what the policy on that is. But if Rick comes in and replies, I'll probably start a new thread IF I deem there is anything worth replying to in his posts. You have acquitted yourself well; now quit while it is still your choice. Please. You done good. It?s out of your hands. There are no more points to make. Let it wind out quietly and hopefully some dignity. Thanks, and like I said, it's their move, not mine, I've accomplished my goal. Nightowl >8# "I learned to be the door, instead of the mat!"

The official policy...
on the subject of: someone chewed me out for branching out the topic... so I'm not sure what the policy on that is. Well there's two official policies on the subject: 1). You're damned if you do; and 2). You're damned if you don't I don't think we're anywhere close to the left shift records we set with Bryce years ago. BTW, there is no official policy, unless the LRPD chimes in with an astute observation.

That reminds me, Rick...
(Reading the archives, that is),
You mentioned somewhere up above in another post that perhaps I got my ideas from being on AOL or reading it or something?
I have absolutely nothing to do with AOL, never will, never have. It's an internet parasite.
