Re: Note: WRKLNK is not the same as a 'share'!

Hi, James,
You are correct, sir!  I meant "RFE"...  need more coffee, apparently.

What do you all think?

I think you must mean an RFE. The last time I checked, an RFC was a
document defining some Internet-related or otherwise
open-standards-related rule, protocol, or (as we say in the NMRA, which
was doing open standards back when ENIAC was new technology) recommended
practice. And I support the idea. There's no reason why the root of any
OS should be publicly shared, least of all with write access.
