johnnyb: My condolences for your brother's new (and I assume, your ongoing) virus infection. I was infected maybe 27 years ago, but recovered. Perhaps this fascinating article on toxoplasmosis is apropos. (BTW, are you still a spammer?)

chalst: regardless of substance or validity of the Danish Ministry of Science's criticisms of its captive committee, nothing they wrote can reasonably be taken to vindicate Lomborg or his book. I wonder what was the political motivation for quashing the report... clues suggest a turf battle.

My copy of Evolution 1.4.5 hasn't crashed in quite some time. If I could edit with vi I'd be pretty happy with it. I still use Mutt for mailing-list work.

I'm installing Galeon 1.3.11a now. I have high hopes that galeon will stop crashing, too. Maybe someday it will honor my Gnome Prefs request for emacs edit key bindings. (I suppose I can edit in the ones I want. Has anybody done it already?)
