Well, I've had one for more than 6 decades so far, but I feel some need to

Well, at 42 i'm only a pup, so you'd know better then me that the
other half often commands attention, and i rather enjoy complying :)

"give back" in some small way for the open source software that has been
provided for me.

Oh I've given back many times over the years to several projects, but i'm
not a chest beater so dont feel the need to add them all to things like my
sig or advertise it, i've always been and will be, a "quiet achiever"

Note: Your spellchecker is broken. :-)

I don't use one, its a pain to manually go ctl-T in pine :)

We know that you are a Slackware user and all the elitism that implies.

Actually, Slackware, RHEL, Solaris, no more AIX thank god, but ubuntu is
3rd boot option in laptop, you see i dont dis a distro without trying it
first :) However I spend a fair amount of time in ubuntu on laptop,
mostly coz I detest KDE and my time is limited these days so I CBF
building all the gnome packages for slack, as I am a great fan of gnome
and prefer it over any othe GUI.


Hey man, you've been around long enough to know, real geeks use the CLI. :-)

I do, what do you think im using now? :) what do you think I use on all
list/newsgroups under this account hehe. Of course I use Evolution and ff
in gnome a lot for work, afterall, some of these programmers dont
understand anything exits outside of GUI, and trying to use portals in
lynx is a pain, but its awesome loading pages if i'm away on laptop using
dialup, 150k pages load in 2 seconds ... some webmasters think its cool to
concentrate on "eye candy" rather than factual content or usability, one
day I hope they will wake up to reality.

Not our problem if you are bored, go back to the life you mentioned. ;-)

I did, right after I posted that message lol.
I'm here now coz works very quiet this morning, enjoying a coffee, some
Pink Floyd, and ssh-to-home for your entertainment on usenet/mailing
lists, what more could I ask for :)
