   Whether I got any points made in the thread, I certainly did not   
   mean to agree with you that advice involving a CLI is "wrong" or that   
   it's better not to give it.  I remain unconvinced that keeping people   
   away from a CLI actually would further the goal of convincing people   
   to switch.  If you want the user to have the option of using the GUI,   
   it's up to you to give a GUI answer;  then it won't harm anything for   
   there also to be a CLI solution in the same thread.   
      
   If you're right, you've got a lot of work to do, maybe starting with   
   fixing Chapter 1 of the desktop guide,   
   .  ;)

   Well, the newsreaders that run in a term are faster and have better   
   features, but you didn't want another holy war in the thread, did   
   you? ;)
