Re: A little nervous about "one for all"
A light-hearted exchange with no technical content, apparently about the colour of production terminal windows and a poster's worry about having a way out if he messed up. Neil Truby, Scott Burns, Art Kagel and David E. Grove joked about window colours; Grove said Jonathan's comments suggested his precaution was unnecessary.

Production windows open in black on white for me. I also have the attention span of Art S. Kagel
Yes, shameless, shameless :-) But, I'd be even more ashamed if I didn't have a way out, if (when?) I mess up. But, based on Jonathan's comments, sounds like this is unnecessary.
