Ah, but you apparently forgot the effort to install
emacs and gnus, to slowly come back up to speed
with their commands and/or keyboard shortcuts
(which I don't recall being very short, come
to think of it) in that environment, likely
struggle with lispy syntax again.

That's in the ocean-boiling zone for this
here just-wanna-be-typing-asap junkie.

Well, not all things considered (per my first
paragraph). But keep in mind (ha) that it not
only didn't feel like a "battle" at the time
(courtesy of the force of dust storm winds
beneath my wings), and from my point of
view my yammering didn't (and still
doesn't) fall under a derogatory
label like 'solipsism'.

> Perhaps you should upgrade Slrn?

I can retrieve the older posts in slrn, but the
process is annoyingly clunky.

But that's tip 'o the iceberg. The lion's
share of the effort would be in trying to piece
together overall flow, identify what was possibly
intended as reply to what, etc., in order to feel
that rush of dust storm wind I've been referring
to. A state of confusion over where an exchange
is at stifles that wind. The wind has clearly
changed direction on my end, and it's unlikely
it'll return because at this point the original
subject isn't interesting in any way.

*But* I've enjoyed the last several exchanges
quite a bit, so whatever.
