Aucbvax.2940 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Fri Sep 4 12:05:19 1981 PROPER FORUM >From JONES@RADC-TOPS20 Fri Sep 4 11:56:57 1981 I DO NOT AGREE WITH MIKE AT BRL ABOUT CHOICE OF FORUM.!() * ( AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, 99% OF THE MESSAGES I RECEIVE VIA UNIX-WIZARDS ARE JUNK MAIL. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT I APPRECIATED THE QUESTION "WHAT IS A FLOATING EXCEPTION?", SINCE IT HAD SHOWN UP THE OTHER DAY DURING A COMPILE AND I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT MEANT EITHER.

PERHAPS THE QUESTION WAS TOO TRIVIAL FOR MOST OF THE UNIX-WIZARDS, BUT THEN TRIVIALITY IS RELATIVE.

IS UNIX-WIZARDS JUST A FORUM FOR SUPER HACKERS TO EXCHANGE TIDBITS OR CAN US IGNORANT FOLKS TAP THE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE WHEN WE CANNOT FIND ANSWERS ANYWHERE ELSE?
