oh, hadn't thought of that. but they would come under the janes databse: Janes fighting books of the 21st century. Remind me of the montey python sketch Australian wines "A particuly good fighting wine is melbourne oldum yellow, which is particuly good for hand to hand combat,"
Just like to throw thing off topic if I can! :-))))
I think we need to see if we can have a thread which covers the most holy wars posible and manages to last atleast a month. /me checks the guiness book of records for the longest email thread Thanks D
Cheers, BJ

How about a thread that encompasses politics, religion, vegetarians, fox hunting, vivasection and the vi/emacs debate. That should keep us going for a while. :-)) Cheers, BJ

Naught wrong with vegitarians, infact I agree with them on some points. The main selling point being is that it is a much more efficient use of land, the carnivorous method is just far too inefficient. And I think that its good we have popular religions, i.e. Hindu, which promote vegitarianism. What pisses me off is you get these very hypocritacal religions which go on and dictate things to us whilst being completely currupt and two faced. And for the record I am an athiest. The wide expansion of the british empire has brought back a wide range of dishes which can expand the variety of dishes for which Vegies can eat, which is a good and a bad thing, we did after all rape and pillage most of asia in the process, one reason I don't admit to being british. Whilst on the subject of vegitarianism, I am not one off these people who wont eat meet on the basis of not killing animals, we're human, thats what we are designed to do, however chasing a small dog through the country side on horse back with a pack of blood thirsty hounds is not my idea of fun, but I have mixed emotions about it being banned as I see it as an infringement of freedoms, I think we should just make it legal to chase down fox hunters with Quad bikes and assault riffles. Whilst I'm in a ranting mood, will someone tell me if there is any function emacs wont do? I currently am a big Vi fan and love it, but If I can do everything I want in emacs I will be happy especially if the crap emacs command set can be over ridden with the vi commands. I found Vi and the ed scripts it can run to be wonderful when I acted upon the wonderful vivasection of my web site and now abuse the C preprocessor and make to generate my pages. Thanks D PS I like rising to a challenge like this BJ, now we have to keep this up till 18/8/01!

Hmmmmm, even better. Microsoft products are *far* better than anything that the crappy unix and open source communitys could produce. I would of course use Microsoft products exclusively but as I am poor I can't afford to buy this superior software so am stuck with these crap open source things. I would really like to use Microsoft as the applications and capabilitys of the systems far exceed that of *any* other companys products ever.... :-) -- This message is Copyleft - all rights reversed Adam

You have a point, why should we spend nothing on software when we can get poorer more unreliable software for hundreds of more poundscomplete with customer lock in and some reaaly nice bugs to cost us for all that lost work! Microsoft products are so shite its unbeleivable. They cost me heavily in time and money and I find they are useless compared to the alternatives - MaxOS, freebsd, openbsd, Linux, Solaris! Also see my T-shirt suggestion on geekshirts.sourceforge.net, What has microsoft ever done for us? I am now looking at openbsd as my main system! Thanks D
