Thanks, edbarx (that was this kind Maltesian name on Debian Forums --still is,
topics still there-- when we, him, golinux, me, and others, made our last ditch
attempts on Debian Forums to arouse anti-systemd mood there, alas ,
unsuccessfully, years ago now)! Thanks, really glad to read from you.

But I *will* correct the title to that dev1galaxy.org forum. In my case it was
because, in lack of more appropriate way, actually before I figure out how, to
Air-Gap update Jessie to Ascii, I updated it to Debian stretch... But, wait, I
don't need to update the title there, is says in parentheses "(Beware of Debian
Stretch)"...

I will consider your kind email, and also need to reply to KatolaZ now, before
(but pls. I'll say a little more in my reply to KatolaZ')...

Kind regards!
