sorry...I am never proud of myself when I do sarcasm...calling Mac OSX
'the other BSD' was tongue in cheek.

Truth be told, enough people (I set a fairly low watermark of 5) on the
local MacOSX Mail list felt that I was too negative about MacOSX to
remain on their list so I un-subbed as I had promised to do if it
reached the mark.

I was surprised to see Derek take a swing.
