Let me try to explain: Those of us who read newsgroups a lot (not only
kermit's, but especially unix groups in general) have grown somewhat
weary of people saying "I'm running SCO and <something> is broken, please
fix it" kind of things. It has been pointed out again and again and...
that there is no OS named SCO, please give details.
Please understand that Frank has also been on the receiving end of similar
statements many times. given the amount of abuse people spew on the net,
I'm amazed that Frank continues to be as polite and helpful as he is, I
surely wouldn't be able to stay as cool.
So, anyway, no he wasn't being cheeky, but he was being a bit terse, surely
because of the tedium of having to explain the SCO issue over and over and...
Sorry, Frank for butting in, I hope you don't mind me treading a bit
close to your toes!
