Courtesy is not ``political correctness.'' Asking for one has nothing to do with asking for the other. and FWIW, i think "fucking Sun blows me" actually says something worthwhile about endianity mismatch errors. check the code to find out. No, it doesn't. It may be a message that is caused by an endianity mismatch error, but it doesn't say anything about it at all. And notice that having content is neither ``political correctness'' nor courtesy -- and this message has no significant content at all. -- Joseph J.
