p.s. the more people blabber about GNU, the more I try to remove it from 
my system and support non-GNU replacements.  this is called the point of 
where proselytizing is no longer informing people, it's annoying them 
[insert vibrant verbs as desired] and pushing them away.  it also harms 
the FSF.  consider all the bad press that happens as a side effect when 
you evangelize GNU.
