Yes and grep isn't very good for interactive searching. There's lot of different ways you could do this, and they all have pros and cons depending on the situation. My point was that all these posts dismissing this blog post as pointless are just arrogant. Most people don't know about less +F, but it's pretty handy for some common use cases. So he didn't mention someone's favourite tool - it's okay.
At no point did I dismiss his post nor show any arrogance towards the author:
> Not that I'm trying to dismiss the effectiveness for +F for those inclined
> kudos to the author for his recommendation and providing helpful write ups to future sysadmins
The ironic thing is, you've been far more dismissive about other peoples suggestions than I had of the author's. As you said yourself, there are a lot different ways this can be done, so why limit us to discussing only one possible solution?
