    Are you serious! What do you mean, "what's the rush"! Have you NEVER waited for sendmail to send mail? That 0.017 seconds is torture, it's like waiting at the Department of Motor Vehicles to renew your driver's license. All of that wasted time just spent waiting, waiting, waiting, just to send an email, it's enough to make a programmer go nuts!

    Joking, of course.

    Yeah, what's the rush. In my time, when we had to walk to the office (teleworking was done by the people inventing the television), 25 miles throught the snow, and uphill both ways, we had to bang rocks together to get our ones and zeros (I fondly remember we invented the one, that made life so much easier), we were happy if we could send an email in less than a week. To the other end of the hallway. Using bangpaths.

    Youngsters. Next thing they want is interactive processing, with actual keyboard and a vt100 terminal. If batch processing was good enough for God, it's good enough for mankind.

    With heartfelt apologies to both Hormel and Monty Python, could the answer to your question lie here?

      Well I suspect that it does, but I didn't want to start casting aspersions
