Sorry, Ten, your mail is almost unreadable.
On reading that back, I see what you mean. Haha.
I don't think you do...
Still, you were warned - rapid, unconnected and tangential thoughts are=20 characteristic of stream of consciousness..
It's not the thoughts, it's the format.
Having been in deep hack for around 4 hours non-stop immediately prior, I=20 fired off that mail in a few seconds.
Don't make excuses for the mail software - it's making a pig's ear of formatting the text, especially ends of lines andnon-standard characters.
I find that once I'm in the zone the part of my brain that controls human=20 language temporarily turns to mush...it sometimes takes a good 10 minutes t= o=20 "surface" again.
Anyway, whilst I appreciate the helpful linguistic critique,
It isn't a critique of linguistics, it's a lament for the absence of plain ASCII
I can't help=20 wondering - did you ever test that ram?
No. I think the URL may have disappeared up the SCSI with the earlier incarnation of ZIMACS - but if it didn't, I shall be visiting it, ta.
Go on, you know you want to. :)
You may be right.
