Huh? This isn't a challenge or an insult, Mr Sensitive. I was making the point 
that many things can be achieved quickly and/or better via CLI. The same is 
true for a GUI. Someone else said the same thing.

getting all hot and bothered on a mailing list with someone who isn't even 
challenging your "manliness". Calm yourself.
