    Did ROOT on linux AFS (/afs/rhic/opt/brahms/root/root_v3.02.02)
    disappear on purpose?  If so I should have a fit!!!!
    
    There was a message some time ago asking to see if there were reasons
    not to remove it and just use root in the new and pro directories.  I
    enumerated a number of reasons not to remove it.  The response was not
    adequate in my mind.  Furthermore I never wrote back to say it was
    adequate and therefore my expectation was that it would not be removed.
    
    I am sitting here trying to get some semblance of work done and I
    already don't have enough time to do things once which is obvious given
    my dismal rate of production.  I get really angry when I have to do
    things over.
    
    Now, I suppose I should point my stuff at the root which is in
    /opt/brahms/new.  I will then spend at least one hour compiling my brat
    to go to an earlier version of root (ie root v3.02.00).  In addition, I
    am then at the mercy of whoever has a whim to put a new root into the
    new directory which means that I will again lose the time to compile
    when a new version has been inserted.  On the other hand, I feel
    constrained against updating root in the /opt/brahms/new directory at my
    whim, because unlike some others (or other), I worry that my action
    would cause people to lose time in the middle of what they are doing
    which is what I am carping about and which is another form of exactly
    what happened to me right now.  I could go on, but won't.
    
    There is not a single point in this message that I have not expressed in
    some form or the other before. Given that it didn't have any effect
    before, perhaps I have once again wasted my time by writing it, but my
    opinion is that this has got to stop.
    
    I will go to eat lunch and maybe I will cool down by the time I get back
    and decide what to do.
    
    Kris
