None taken.  I just tend to be verbose, since people tend to insist I
back what I say up 10 or 12 times when I make that claim.  Usually
newer Windows users.  Linux mailing lists tend to have more people who
travel better online than the Windows lusers of which I speak.  8:o)
I was simply pointing out that what this group expects is more or less
expected by the majority of the people online, even if they can't
articulate that desire.
