Maybe he meant the back of the barrel, as in "we're
getting ready to pull the trigger".

That reminds be of the time when I translated Monopoly
into Latin for a school project. I guess it must have
been late when I looked that one up, since I ended up
calling "Community Chest" something along the lines of
"Communitas Pectas" (you got it, "Community Breast").

Actually, I had it as "into the breach" initially and then did a google
search and found "unto the breech" so I changed it. I should have just
looked up the definition rather than trust random internet misspellers.

You know, it occurs to me that the english language lacks - but could
greatly use - a word meaning
"That especially embarassing combination of shame and humiliation you feel on
realising that your first instincts were absolutely sound and right and good,
and you surpressed them against your better judgement, and went and trusted
what others said, instead of your own good sense, only to discover in the end
that you were right in the first place and should have trusted and had faith
in yourself but lost confidence at the last moment and went along with the
consensus when you should have known better that YOU WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG
GODDAMMIT AND YOU ONLY MADE A FOOL OF YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU WERE TRYING TO BE
NICE TO OTHER PEOPLE AND ASSUME THEY WEREN'T ALL GODDAM IDIOTS JUST FOR ONCE!"
...excuse me, I think I was starting to shout a bit towards the end
there....
Hey, Corinna, you guys invented "schadenfreude", surely /you/ must already
have a word for this emotion?

There is a word in American English that reflects most of the emotion.
The word is "D'oh!".

Well, the American dialect of English already has a word for this emotion.
The word is "D'oh!".

Suspect all you want. It wasn't me, I tell ya! There's an hour
difference between those messages -- a lot could happen in one hour!
Besides, what with mail relays, etc, that person could have been anywhere

Crud... Is there really a working solution for Outlook Express? Or do I need
to edit it out every time?
BTW. You send your email adddress in the sig of all your messages (when
posting as Igor), so I doubt it matters if I quote it by mistake.

Hmm... except by your own admission the mailings came from the same pc, in
the same location, using the mail mailing, running under the same PID.
The fact that both you and OAU use strange (humerous) names for the
cygwn-talk list, and have both always used pine running on a computer in
that network...
I'm afraid you've been cornered.

Yes! It is possible! http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/

In fact it does explicitly mention that case in the PCYM... entry.

;) I don't think it was ever meant to be a real big secret!
Oh, BTW, the correct internet term is "Igor, your socks are showing"!

There are zillions of working solutions if you start using an email client.
Trust me...

Hmm, that's an interesting point. Maybe Igor is working as undercover
honeypot for mailing lists?

Heh. Used to be you could Google for PCYMTNQREAIYR and get a link to
QuoteFix... This doesn't seem to be happening now -- too many mentions of
the acronym itself. Well, Googling for QuoteFix should do it.
I repeat my earlier request: would someone be willing to maintain a page
with a list of solutions for PCYMTNQREAIYR for various mailers? If so,
I'll link to that page from the acronyms page.
> BTW. You send your email adddress in the sig of all your messages
Yes, as the acronyms page says, this is the choice of the person posting
the message. The PCYMTNQREAIYR acronym really refers to reply lead-ins
like "joe <j@example.com> wrote:" -- these don't give the original poster
any choice.
> (when posting as Igor),
Huh? I always post as Igor. I *am* Igor. :-)
> so I doubt it matters if I quote it by mistake.
It probably doesn't matter for my email address, but configuring your
mailer will prevent you from doing this to people who would prefer to not
have their email addresses posted on the internet in raw form.

Huh? *Everyone* on this list uses a strange name for it. You should see
what conundrums DaveK comes up with (a new one for every post). Besides,
have you ever looked at the Reply-To header on most messages coming from
this list?
> I'm afraid you've been cornered.
You can do that on the Internet? I thought it had no boundaries (thus no
walls, thus no corners)... You learn something new every day...
Besides, this thread has not even mentioned hippos. How can you have a
cygwin-talk thread with no hippos? This is outrageous! So, here's the
obligatory mention of hippos: LOOK OUT, THERE'S A HIPPO BEHIND YOU!

I beg to differ. As OP, I most certainly mentioned hippos in

I don't use Outlook at all. I use Mutt! It is not that hard
to set up. It only took a couple of hours and it was
well worth the invstement!
I try to use as little of the Windoze crap as possible!
I tell everyone in my comapny to use CygwIn but I'm hoping
that we're going to switch to linux soon because Cygwin is
*s*l*o*w*.
But, before cfg flames me, I want to point out that he
and Corrina have both done an amazing job getting things
working pn a *sucky* OS!
P.S. "Mailing" was *still* mispelled in the To until I fixed
it.

Good question. Probably a bug in pine. It's always had weird
interactions with subjects spanning multiple lines.
Or, there's a hippo in the SMTP daemon that stomps on the spacebar key
every time it sees a message from me. On the 'net, everything is
possible.

Actually I did repeat one once.
But fortunately that was in 1927, well before the invention of computers or

Archiving was really expensive back in the old days... just six months worth
of mail could easily occupy four or five pigeon lofts and require several
dozen kilos of birdseed every day.

Hmm, I believe you're mixing your metafors here. While the networking
protocol back then was "IP over carrier pigeon", pigeons weren't really
used for storage (today's equivalent would be creating a network loop to
store your data -- a needless waste). Data storage was really
accomplished by either engraving on stone (for really persistent storage)
or via arrays of abaci (for random-access temporary data)...

They do, but it's just a concatenation of that entire sentence, just without
spaces or punctuation, like most German words, and hence doesn't fit on a
7x-character line.

Auf Englisch: we might call the action (misguided) deference, and
hence the feeling becomes "post-misguided deference symdrome" or just
plain "self-doubt"? That already fits comfortably on one line.

Hm. Well, unless the German translation of that requires the use of
"Smallfont", it just doesn't have the same Teutonic charm.

Ah, but it's not the self-doubt to which I am alluding, but the feelings of
shame, self-loathing, embarassment, utter hatred of the entire universe, and
ennui which arise out of an occasion on which your actions have been guided by
that self-doubt.

Someone left a window open at the back and they just flew in one day.
They've been flapping round the rafters and crapping on our heads ever since.
And the moral of the story? The moral is "Never leave your windows
open".... no that's not it... The moral of the story is "It's a good thing
hippos can't fly in Mobile..."

I know it's not quite one word, but perhaps "dubiety anxiety" comes
close?

I hope you meant breach[1], not breech[2]. Otherwise, I'd have to send a
hippo after you (think of the children!). Your subject reminded me of one
of the early English translations of the Bible, where the translator
picked the wrong word in Genesis 3:7 (http://sunnyokanagan.com/breeches/).
Oh, and I finally subscribed to the cygwin-talk list; I've had far too
many laughs reading the web archives for me to lurk any longer.

Fixes? On an open source project? Who would have thought it possible?
