Well, what do you know? I leave BOFH-net for, what is it, 1.5 years(?)
and while I'm gone this happens? Congrats Abby, and good luck! I'm
glad I returned in time to read it.
And yes, I'm back. And yes, there's a reason for it. I suffer from not
only one, but two PHBs. Oh, and I've heard myself volunteer to
co-admining the mainservers and the Linuxsystems at this place.
Thankfully I was sane enough to dodge the NT-system!
And I thought I'd recovered.

No problem here, I thought it was interesting[1]. but then, I probably
never understood the really gross parts since there were some words I
simply didn't understood[4].
[1] since I haven't experienced it[2] in RL
[2] as co-driver[3] that is
[3] or should that be co-parent?
[4] yes, I know there are something called dictionary, but I was too lazy

Nope. And now I've (hopefully) tamed Gnus 5 to do as I wish too!
*sigh* I had my old config for Gnus 4 in my .emacs, but that
appearently didn't work very well. I'm ashamed.

No, it doesn't, since Gnus 5 has about as much to do with Gnus 4 as
Solaris has to do with SunOS. :)

Yep. Found that out the hard way, ie the usual way I find out things
since I'm a "heck let's try it, it can't do much more than go
*boom*"-guy. I tend to try ./configure; make; just for the hell of it
before I start to read README- and INSTALL-files... *ahem*
Yes I'm lazy, but then, surprisingly often it DOES work!

Great isn't it. It's almost as great as saying "Hey you, do ..." while
you enjoy the wonders of life like coffee or a nice cool jolt[1]. ;-)
[1] I really hate it that I only bought 2 trays at the hip instead of 10+.[2]
[2] Indeed, unavailable in The Netherlands.[3]
[3] Too much cafeine. [4]
[4] They should try my normal cup of coffee. >-)

Uhm... Isn't it the Netherlands that usually is rather liberal about
drugs[1]?
[1] This sentence feels like rather lousy english, but I can't figure
out what's wrong so I'll just going to leave it like that and hope
you can parse it anyway.

This isn't hash or something like that, it's cola. As a normal drink it has to
be conform the normal rules.[1]
[1] Maybe we should brand it as a drug, it is for me now.[2]
[2] I only had 40 jolts, really.

Actually, not too bad. Certainly nothing to point to and
say "You should have..." The biggest problem is dealing
with the singular/plural thing for The Netherlands (cf.
"Isn't Belgium usually rather liberal about drugs"--much
less wordy...but it's weird to say "The Netherlands is")

Why don't you just say "Aren't the Netherlands..."? Works for me.

Umm, in fact they are. We've got the provinces [3] North Holland,
containing Amsterdam, Haarlem and all that, and we've got South Holland,
containing Den Haag, Rotterdam, Delft and the likes. And ten more of
these things I won't name here...

Just to be anoying, yes they are.[1]
The Netherlands consist of 12 provinces of which 2 are north and south holland.
(north is were Amsterdam is ditched and south is the part with Rotherdam)
