No, but thanks for your concern, tholenbot.

But I gotta ask: What does your question have to do with OS/2, trollen?

What does your classic erroneous presupposition have to do with OS/2, 
thallium?

You don't exactly have much of a choice, though, do you, thalien, unless 
your author chooses someday to port you to another platform, tholenbot. 
So you don't count, thalidomide.

Not to their own users, the general public, trollium.

What does your classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have to do 
with OS/2, trillium?

How many is "far more than 3", trellis? 30, tholenbot? Perhaps even as 
many as 100, tholian?

Perhaps 7, then, tholenbot.

Not even ten, trollenbot? Aww, poor OS/2. Nine or fewer users makes 
thallium a sad, sad bot. Why, tholenbot's in danger of the only platform 
he's supported on going extinct! If someone doesn't port him to Windows 
or Linux, trollen could actually *die*!

Classic contradiction, tholenbot; you just said not even 10, tholoon.

What does the temperature becoming milder in the Northeast have to do 
with OS/2, thallium?
