Your post said:

So, you showed an "ls" with a "-l" argument, but the tab auto-completion 
doesn't have the details from a long listing format, so it looks like an 
"ls" without the "-l" (although without the "*" at the end of "video", 
you would have gotten a "ls: video: No such file or directory", so I'm 
actually stretching my joke a bit too far)...  Which means that really, 
I--not you--am lame for finding it amusing.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should also admit that when Endaf 
Jones posts and ends his message with "# Endaf" (i.e. 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/151468#151468 ), my 
brain always says, "#endaf without #af".  The really scary part is when 
the other voice says, "That's not what it would say!  It would say, 
'invalid preprocessing directive #Endaf' because of the capital 'E'."

Perhaps I spend too much time on computers...  To get away from 
computers, I'm going to go watch some TV output by my Myth box to my new 
set that contains an ATI Xilleon media processor...  Wait a minute.
