    Is a strong drink and a peer group.

    Is no one in a position to complain about users anymore? Given the
    Are all of us users busy training LLMs and not reaching out to IT with self-inflicted issues?

    Never qualified, just a user. I did help people with dBaseII back in
    the day, maybe that counts. Plus Thunderbird is not amenable to
    complying with the restriction. There's a Facebook group, which is only marginally more active.

    I loved reading this group. Smart people saying clever shit.

    It is now, but not 38 (or maybe 68), which I used up until gmail
    demanded 2FA. Every "upgrade" lost something I valued, and this last one
    was no exception. I'm sure there's a good reason that it translates backspaces into CRLFs...
