I am [not] sure how screen's spliting dominates screen. Screen's
splitting funcitonality is much more powerful then splitvt's even
without the vertical patch.

When you split the screen with slrn your open windows cycle through the
two (in this example) half-screens. With splitvt you get a split screen
but all the rest of the screen windows are still whole screens and
independent of the split. I prefer it this way. I don't like having all
my windows suddenly cut in half because I split one of them....

Agreed. I've never liked screen's "split screen" functionality either.
It's just looks and acts too weird to be useful. And, yes, I also
admire (and use) splitvt's simplicity.

But, I'm sure some people like it (screen's screen-splitting)...

"The anti-regulation business ethos is based on the charmingly naive notion

Quoted by Paul Ciszek (pciszek at panix dot com). But what I want to know
is why is this diet/low-carb food author doing making pithy political/economic
statements?

Nevertheless, the above quote is dead-on, because, the thing is - business
in one breath tells us they don't need to be regulated (which is to say:
that they can morally self-regulate), then in the next breath tells us that
corporations are amoral entities which have no obligations to anyone except
their officers and shareholders, then in the next breath they tell us they
don't need to be regulated (that they can morally self-regulate) ...
