   Calling drive letters "crap" isn't "aggressive" ?   
      
   Anyway, given that this is a cross-posted thread, it would be useful to   
   know from which group you are reading/responding.  I often give this info   
   myself when responding to cross-posts.   
      
   My guess it that, like me, you are reading in comp.editors.  The point of   
   this observation is that this thread (whatever it does eventually turn out   
   to really be about) is really more of an Android/Windows thing, and is only   
   tangentially related to editors.  If you're coming from a primarily Unix   
   (aka, Linux) background, a lot of it will look weird.  I don't understand   
   it myself, but I am inferring (just from reading this thread) that there   
   are weirdnesses in both Android and Windows that give rise to the issues   
   that Arlen is trying to address.   
      
   Neither you nor I are familiar with these weirdnesses and problems, because   
   we both come primarily from Unix/Linux backgrounds - where such things   
   simply don't exist.
