   I didn't know Tim was a ham.  I should start asking people...

   This was a problem on several points: I wasn't told about potential issues I    
   could have corrected nearly immediately; the evident lack of attention given    
   to the fact that I don't run Linuxnet; being accused of harassment when I    
   brought this up; and just being a general dumbass.   
      
   "I think I'm a great fit for Dumas and Dumas!"   
      
   *eyeroll*   
      
   I brought this up in here to prove that my attitude problem towards certain    
   people is generally warranted.  I don't try to let a hobby give me a case of    
   the fantods anymore but every once in a while a special case pops up.   
      
   It's done and over with now.  For now.  There will be someone else coming    
   along one of these days. :D   
      
   Speaking of BBS, I switched my system back to MBSE.  I unfortunately had a lot    
   of issues with the ArcaOS system.  I never got around to recommissioning the    
   Linux server and I'm glad I didn't now.  Score a point for procrastination    
   caused by the lack of a hand.   
      
   Speaking of hand, it looks like the flexor tendon in my right pinky is shot.     
   I can move the pinky enough to use it for typing but I can't straighten the    
   finger out.  On April 22 I am seeing a hand surgeon about the possibility of    
   surgery to fix the pinky or if we should just let it be.  Not being in great    
   shape might just cause the surgery to cause more issues than it would fix.     
   But I am out of the hand brace and am using "buddystrips" (Velcro pieces with    
   a special anti-sweat fabric on one side) to keep the pinky attached to my ring    
   finger on the same hand.   
      
   While not feeling like a malcontent, I am thankful to be alive and worry about    
   silly things.  The alternative could be worse...   
      
   Later,   
   Sean   
      
   ... On a clear disk, you can seek forever.
