Quoting James Harper (james.harper@bendigoit.com.au):
I know it sucks to be wrong, but it sucks even more to be googling and come across wrong information on a mailing list archive with no follow up posts to correct it.
1. I really don't care about being wrong. Have a lot of experience at it. Twice on Sundays. 2. Your assumption that was 'googling' is incorrect. I just made an off-the-cuff (and, as mentioned, tangential) comment just before going to sleep. 3. There were 'no follow up posts' largely because I was immediately thereafter asleep. (See 'just before going to sleep'.) Not counting the one I wrote fairly soon thereafter where I said, gee, sorry, I obviously must have misremembered, then. Probably one of the other ones in the category of which I spoke.
...such misinformation helps nobody
