• there is no end to meaning

    From Maurice Kinal@1:261/38 to Nancy Backus on Tuesday, October 02, 2018 15:06:12
    Hey Nancy!

    there is no competing with a lion that has no proboscis at all
    And what, if anything, is that supposed to mean....? :)

    To the message nothing but of itself I believe it has to do with Nosolgy and going too far in serving one's greatness. It is a quote from Edgar Allan Poe's
    short story entitled "Some Passages in the Life of a Lion (Lionizing.)"

    In any case, no need for me to volunteer.... <G>

    I reiterate; You're no fun anymore. ;-)

    Calling someone else's bbs adds the extra layer, and if something
    goes wrong there, you aren't in a position to even try to fix it

    True but that also puts us on even ground.

    So something to enhance your neighbors' wireless experience....?

    No. There isn't anything I can do to improve the experience given that I have absolutely nothing to do with the cyberworld beyond other than providing them a
    connection to it.

    Ah, an update to VIM....

    Everything including vim but given that vim seems to be at the heart of my messaging scheme then it would seem to be of the greater importance.

    While I won't mourn the loss of the Bottles of Beer countdown, I
    do kinda miss the other countdown to the next virtual toasts....

    That can be fixed.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    Ah.... ok... :)

    Neither are you, then... :)

    I suppose so.. :) I've always left the bbs fixes to the sysops... ;)

    So something to enhance your neighbors' wireless experience....?

    No. There isn't anything I can do to improve the experience given
    that I have absolutely nothing to do with the cyberworld beyond other
    than providing them a connection to it.

    Ok, so what is the purpose of this new project...?

    Ah, an update to VIM....

    Everything including vim but given that vim seems to be at the heart
    of my messaging scheme then it would seem to be of the greater
    importance.

    You said something about it being some sort of server... so, of use in
    your messagings....?

    While I won't mourn the loss of the Bottles of Beer countdown, I
    do kinda miss the other countdown to the next virtual toasts....

    That can be fixed.
