Just FYI, the question is autocreated by the wiki because it interprets words
like 'OpenStep', 'SonOfKong' or 'ThisIsJustAnExample' as a hyperlink to a page
with the same name. The question mark merely indicates that such a page has not
been created -- it's not an editorial comment by anybody. The best fix would be
a page with a paragraph or two about OpenStep. But you'd need a wiki acounnt to
do that.

I'm planning to propound a new rule, 'Biju's Axiom' which states that

"Prolonged exposure to open source development causes your procmail filters to
approach the size of the source you most regularly hack on."
