If so, what ? Well, chuq, since you obviously can't read (the evidence is in Anupam's original posting, where he specifically asks people to email him the answers to his questions and not to post) it seems only fitting that you would have installed your mail-rejector to prevent you from being asked to read. Way to uphold the cause of illiteracy in America, chuq. I hope Apple knows that they allow dysfunctional people to sully their image with moronic judgmental errors and infantile reactions to criticism. If not, I know where they live, and they soon will.

Golly, chuqqhhhhhch, but the first thing I noticed about our young friend was that he had the gall, the balls, the unmitigated audacity to ask that replies be sent via _e-mail_! I mean, the utter nerve of this little non.net.egotist, to presume to deny you and me our Ken-Thompson-given RIGHT to post answers to the simplest questions which thus prove that we are scholars as well as verbal sluices. --Blair "Get a fucking clue, asshole."
