Kilmatead,
I tried to post a reply on Wednesday, but when I clicked Submit, the window disappeared and nothing got posted. This has happened before on this forum so I usually copy my post before submitting, but I was in a hurry and forgot to do so. I only mention this because that lost post was so much better than the one below. I was able to say what I wanted in a way that pleased me. In the post below I think I have all the relevant points but the elegance is missing.

I am not my usual curmudgeonly self, I guess. There has to be the correct combination of technical content along with some of your special brand of obscure references to something interesting, before I will comment.
I am not a big music lover. I do enjoy classical music, country music, American folk music and pop music from the 40’s through the early 70’s (1940’s not 1840’s). However, unlike the younger generation and others, I do not usually listen to music during most of my waking hours. I do listen when driving, or exercising (neither of which I do a lot of) and sometimes while I am working.
I definitely like the rhythm of the song. That is what drew me in and kept me captivated. I especially like the African influence.
It is important for a people to have some artistic contribution, to the world, in which they can take pride. For we Americans it is apparently Jazz and duck decoys. So please allow us these.
You are correct that I use another file manager most of the time, but I still use X2 occasionally. I often say that X2 is a fantastic program with an amazing depth of features (I say that when appropriate, not as a spontaneous utterance). Nikos can be proud of his achievement. However, the features that I find important are low on Nikos’ priority list, and those features he finds important are not of particular use to me (I hardly ever need to search for a file).
While it was X2 that brought me to this forum, it is the interesting banter and unique personality of the forum that keeps me coming back. Kudos to all.
