In an earlier run of the same, didnt Rick or someone suggest that anyone
who was too "fucking stupid to do some research and learn about
permissions" had no right even running google earth? Now *that* knocked
me for six because, you see, he meant it. Before we know it, some of
them will be suggesting that GUI Desktops are the work of the devil and
that "bash" is "enough for their needs". Strange bunch. This after Roy
getting a woody because (GRIN) he has 32 virtual desktops. Snigger.
