I accept your argument. As I said before, the lack of /tone/ left much
place for ambiguity. I wasn't doing anything vainly. I was just baffled
when I read that sentence twice and thought that somebody else might feel
the same, i.e. be led to think that Synaptic needs to be installed, for
which you may need an installer like Synaptic.
Have a nice day and remember that people in the newsgroups baheve calmly
although the cold appearance of words of phrases conceals it. By the way,
I have corresponded with Aragorn several times before (usually Lnarke and
COLA) and I hope to bump into you in the future without any such friction
getting in the way..
Roy
