You are of course correct, I do try to limit myself to one reply to Tom,
I do reply to others who may comment in the same thread however.

I will try very hard to limit myself to one reply to Tom's initial post
on whatever form of idiocy he is spouting in each thread. The great
temptation comes from his propensity to act like a very big, very slow,
and probably tasty, fish in a barrel.

My delay in replying is due to the fact that unlike Tom My computer only
has one keyboard and monitor, but more than one user, I had to wait my
turn to be "an ordinary user" let alone root. Shell - Konsole > su >
