Yep. And so is baiting snide commentary. I did my stint and now only
write code that I want to. And tolerate idiocy only as I desire. And
comment as I see fit. And laugh at irony. And ... well, it doesn't

Having worked on *IX systems since 1978, I've gained an appreciation for
some of the alternatives. And the methods used to accomplish things.
