I asked a question and got a 2 page dissertation on how my much my post

being so disproportionate to the stimulus.

Besides, making fun of people I annoy is a practice I picked up from Sam
and other people on the linux-elitists ML.

If there are any rogue piggies in the ML, sure, what do you all do for
