- Hey, James, get a life and stop trying to tell people out here on the
- network what to do. I've been reading your foolish and unnecessary
- comments out here for some time now, and it is tiresome. Since you,
- also, apparently don't have anything positive to add to the discussion
- (your last two postings being essentially content free, except for
- gripes about me), then move on.
-
- Better yet, if you don't want to read, don't read. And just as a
- pointer, what is it that you think gives YOU the right to post
- critical remarks in a newsgroup while qvetching about critical remarks
- in a newsgroup? Ever heard of MAIL? At least that way I can throw it
- away and other people don't have to waste their time with your
- complaints. Ever heard of a kill file? Put me in yours, if you think
- all my posts are so bad. Of course, I think you'd miss a lot of
- information that way, too, but that's your choice.
-
- What I added, by the way, WAS positive. He was told that doing what
- he is doing is a bad idea. He claims not. Fine, but that makes it no
- better an idea. I've seen too many people get hosed by SSWAP when
- something that they need to boot winds up getting installed on the
- compressed part of the drive and SSWAP isn't smart enough to update
- copies on the uncompressed part of the drive.
