Just because my psychoanalysis of Sid was intended as sincere, serene and accurate doesn't mean that I do not feel a disdain for the man or that I do not find his antics so utterly abject that they deserve my lashing out at him. ;-) He does after all lash out at me behind my back, so why should I spare him? ;-) -- *Aragorn* (registered GNU/Linux user #223157)

It is perfectly safe to run with superuser privileges anyway. And let's give it a new name while we're at it... Something that doesn't sound like "UNIX" or "Linux" or "KDE"... I've got it! Let's called it "DOS"! :p -- *Aragorn* (registered GNU/Linux user #223157)

Perhaps it was intended as so but it is not extremely unlikely that he is actually a team of trolls and they are laughing and slapping each other on the back at how well they trolled you. Being a jerk and being clever are not mutually exclusive. > He does after all lash out at me behind my back, so why should I spare > him? ;-) Because he is of utterly no consequence and because your "lashing" serves only to clutter the newsgroup. -- John Hasler jhasler(a)newsguy.com Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA

It's still tempting though, even in a world of silence. :-) -- Not really a wanna-be, but I don't know everything. |
