free time? i'm busy planning my wedding to bill bradford and subsequent
widowing to sunhelp. not much free time there. bandwidth to waste?
mmmm...possibly you have me cornered on this one yet i'd wager that most
of you out there have plenty of bandwidth to waste. after all, the days
of 14.4 are long gone and that extra 5k of emacs vs. vi isnt even
remotely affecting anyone.

ok, devin. how 'bout i inform you right now that the sunrescue list
tends to wander on and off topic ceaselessly and its regular posters
tend to talk and expound upon what they will. they are given leave to do
so--by myself and most importantly by bill (remember him? he's the nice
list manager). 

if you have a problem with this i highly suggest you unsubscribe and
save all of us out here with copious bandwidth and a lack of free time
your bitching, moaning, whining, and complaining.

you're quite correct.

have a nice day and thank you for your time :)
