I wasn't jousting, I was asking if there was something else about
Synaptic vs. other such tools I/we should know.

I guess it's terrible form now for someone to answer a question and
ask one in return.  I'll try not to do that any more, since it's such
an offensive idea.  Perhaps we shouldn't provide advice, either.
How's that?

Or, just maybe it would be better for the list members NOT to assume
hostility behind the text on the screen when there might not be any,
and in so doing generate the same.
