Speaking for myself only.  I have to make do with whatever is provided.  I
am trying to learn to speak debian but it is tough when words have meanings
that arnt in the dic. see there is one I know its dictionary but to save
time or whatever we all slip up now and again. BTW I assume it means by the
way, but I have seen it used where that didnt make any sense and when that
is carried over into a technical subject katy bar the door and keep the
kooks in.
