Bug#189447: xserver-xfree86: moving mouse produces intolerable unreliability
hiya people,
just to recap: i agreed with herbert to patch my 2.4.20 kernel
to include some debugging information in the ps/2 module, but
since then have not compiled up a 2.4.20 kernel for my machine
(running with the "standard" debian 2.4.20 i am not sure what
to do, so have left it).
once this gets sufficiently psychologically intolerable to do
work i will suddenly go compiling instead of working.

expecting email to be received and understood is a bit like
picking up the telephone and immediately dialing without
checking for a dial-tone; speaking immediately without listening
for either an answer or ring-tone; hanging up immediately and
then expecting someone to call you (and to be able to call you).
--
every day, people send out email expecting it to be received
without being tampered with, read by other people, delayed or
simply - without prejudice but lots of incompetence - destroyed.

please therefore treat email more like you would a CB radio
to communicate across the world (via relaying stations):
ask and expect people to confirm receipt; send nothing that
you don't mind everyone in the world knowing about...
