- Sorry, but, could you teach me in which language the subject is written?
-
- First, I assumed Japanese (in Romaji). But, even trying to do full error
- corrections on possible misspellings and other errors, I can't make
- the subject meaningful. Yes, "Ohta" is my name and "enpitsu" is pencil.
- But that's all I can recognize.
-
- ..... Aha! Yes, your meaningless subject reflects the content of your
- article better than mine.

-
- I can't make the subject more insulting to you. You are the real genius.

-
- You are mentally handicapped. That's all what I wanted to say.

- Are there any new book of Knuth published on April 1?

-
- "default for cat"? Have you checked your dictionary? A cat is an animal,
- a mamal.
-
- Oh! You are talking about computers, then "cat" should be a name of a command.
- Yes, on OS/9, "cat" means "catalog", something like "ls" of UNIX. Or, on
- UNIX, "cat" means something different. It is a name of a photo typesetter.
- But, it should have been obvious from the context that "cat" is "catalog".
-
- The default for "cat" is the current drive.
-
- Now, I admit that I can't make my article more laughable than yours.
- So, I discontinue. You have finally won.
