	Managing to rember context does not seem to be your strong
 point. If you recall (well, perhaps you can't), this particual
 exchange started when I asked how long should we keep ossifying
 ourselves by creating writs in stone, if there was an end criteria,
 and you are the one who came up with the pie in the sky ``when there
 are no problems''. 

	Since you manage to forget context from message to message, I
 guess it makes a weird kind of sense that now you attribute
 statements like the above to your opponents.

	I suggest you keep these messages around, and peruse them
 prior to drafting a reply, so the context is in yourshort term memory.

	XSI. 
 IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 describes utilities, functions, and facilities
 offered to application programs by the X/Open System Interface (XSI).
 Functionality marked XSI is also an extension to the ISO C
 standard. Application writers may confidently make use of an
 extension on all systems supporting the X/Open System Interfaces
 Extension.

 Crab apples may not be the best kind of fruit; but a tree which every
 year bears a great crop of crab apples is better worth cultivating
 than a tree which bears nothing.
