I was not defending Bill, I was defending those that find the function
useful. I could have written down names, but it was an example so I chose
one name relative to one of your replies.

I was also not talking about YAM copying Linux, I was replying to Jens about
his comments that Amiga users don't like seeing features from more cutting
edge operating systems.

I also didn't say we shouldn't copy features, I said we shouldn't blindly
copy them - that is to say the way a feature is implemented in another
operating system could be improved when we implement it, not that the idea
of it is bad.

Drag-select on Amiga is not new, this feature wasn't added last week, its
been around for years.

Neither.
