I think you are being silly. Most comments to your annoying messages
should have hinted at that. I will organise a vote just to keep you happy.
I have taken you arguement seriously, I did say that I can see your point
but that CTRL+A is so well established that it will be a bad idea to change
it. You on the other hand added a stupid message to your sig file on
Usenet.
I will organise a vote for next week. Millert, please mail privately me a
_short_ explanation of why you think CTRL+A should be changed. I will put
my reasons as to why it should stay and prepare a combined message which
people can vote on.
