No, I am not.  If you think otherwise, I think that you're on the wrong
end of the, "you've misused the meaning of 'most' argument."  Or do you
have some statistics that prove there's more *ix users in the world that
other systems?

I don't think that the few dogmatic users of computers outnumber the
great masses of ordinary, less computer literate, users who expect that
FILENAME=filename.  Partly because that's what they're used to, and
partly because in human terms, most languages are verbal, and what's
said aloud is what it is, no matter how it's written.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
