[ale] uptime?

[Gary Maltzen]

I've now seen several messages that appear to ascribe to me Rob H's rant about driving into work...

I was just trying to point out a solution that wouldn't be such a waste of personal time.

It's great that you speak for ALL the ALE'rs. Please don't presume to speak for me; especially since I'm *not* from Atlanta.

Actually, I *DO* enjoy my job. Wrong assumption on your part. I get to manage a mixed-platform shop in an exciting environment.

Note: A clear anti-NT position wins no points in my corner; I use the tool most appropriate for the situation. The fact that I am 'enthusiastic' about Linux does NOT preclude my ability to appreciate NT (and BSD).

(Incidentally, I *never* vote for single-issue candidates)

Whoa! that second sentence was semantically loaded. Is there context to go with it?

At no point did I say this was a "preferable" situation. I fix problems; but the *order* in which I fix problems is based on priorities.
