Although I may agree with > *some* elements of his reply, he does come across like a 15yo. I think it is hilarious. The original email is probably spam, I mean if they can send it to ESR they can send it to pretty much anyone. So much claiming to be "search wizards". Now either someone was playing a wind-up on the "Search Wizards", or they have been harvesting email addresses inappropriately. Either way it is exactly the kind of response one would expect from ESR, and it is fairly eloquent in its own way. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
