Howdy,

Ain't nobody giving me a break and I don't get no schoolin'.  Gotta
learn it on the job on my own time.  That's why I'm here on Sunday.
I guess more or less we have all been there done that.  But I'm
not about to give the originators a "break", I've spent just a few
years on a teletype myself.  Possibly the originators might deserve
a break but the followup propitiators sure don't.

UNIX = HEMMOROIDS which equates directly to pain in butt
/flame stuff still on

As I understand it, most were invented to save keystrokes by programmers
hungry for efficiency using a slow Teletype terminal - so give them a
break, ok?:-)
