Are you serious?  This is TOTALLY outside my experience, are you DEAD sure
this is VERY common?  All I ever heard this year was "how do I get rid of
it".

If I didn't think it obscured too much and got in the way too often, I
agree.

Personally I prefer stdhelp/stderr windows...

I will never have Linus's ability to put his foot down.  But I will not back
down, and look at the result--in sun's "big flame" at me...turns out we
*agree* on more stuff than he thought.

All I can do is fight the fight when I'm right, and *STOP* fighting when I'm
not.  The chips will fall wherever.

Thank you for your support.  It's appreciated.
