Absolutely. All this philosophizing and wishing is fiddle-faddle. Writing a word
processor is an immense undertaking. I see no sign that anyone here is even
remotely up to it. So why waste the bandwidth? But I agree with Rafe that TTG
is the root cause of most of the world's misery. And Ken Frank, while not fat, is
a meretricious SOB. NOTHING has ever come of his proffers here. Zero. All
empty words -- with never an apology or an explanation, either. He should be
ashamed.
