Mozilla works well enough (for _all novices_); I may yet implement a 
"Nick" filter though..

What do you know?

You're the worst culprit for smart-arsed, aggressive, superfluous mail 
cr**. Lessen the junk, please.

I have a bunch of replies I want to write for you Nick, and some of them 
even include usefully stimulated thought.

But I can't get onto them because you're so domineering, prolifically 
opinionated and garrulous. So I'll stop trying, by avoiding 'your' 
(territorial) LUG altogether. I'm not the only (semi-)newbie to be 
utterly repelled by know-all attitude (that's less than 'geek').

FWIW My entire mail archive rests on one partition, which I'll never get 
to upgrade past so long as I'm listening to your _twaddle_. Multi-distro 
installs are for educative purposes; learning other people's 
environments, to select my own in an informed way, as well as to be able 
to make recommendations on what works where. Who asked you anyway?

To not put a fine point on it, and to quote Nick Rout to Vatsala, ' Fsck 
off '.

O.T.
