You can practice in a virtual machine if you do not have a spare computer. On OpenBSD, the qemu package makes a fine tool for this sort of self-education.

@jggimi
First of all, thank you for joining my thread.
yes, I came to notice this self behavior a long time ago; I made peace treaty with my self by just saying 'it's another form of thinking out loud'
I know it bug's lot's of people, but I count on their patience and ignoring my threads when they can not bear with it any more.
