- Be careful. You haven't the slightest idea why my finger daemon behaves

- psychology to back up your diagnosis.

- I really don't care whether a@b@c works or not. I really don't care
- whether you or DC-B appreciates my plan or not. If you believe anything
- that fingering skyking tells you, whether you come in through jacobs or
- not, then you are a fool.
