I sincerely doubt it!
It is unfortunate (IMHO) that the hp3000 community has gotten itself into
the state where anything less than an over-flowing glass is simply a dirty
glass that needs to be washed.  You are, of course, correct in suggesting
that we look on the bright side, make positive statements about small
victories, and encourage more small victories that will hopefully snowball
(Northern Term) into larger victories and wars won.  As several wise old
folks have pointed out in the past, you attract more bees with honey than
vinegar.

Would you like fries with that?
