A long time ago on a server far far away ....

Ok just kidding, someone did once post a Windows crack on this list, the
post was deleted and that issue was part of the formulation of the code of
conduct.

This was the interesting thing about Stuxnet, although it was Windows
malware, it seemed to be able to transcend the OS in order to find its
target.

The debate seems to be mostly about time. The time it takes to craft a
reasonable response vs the time it takes to understand a response.

And constructive criticism, how that criticism is presented and how it is
perceived.

I think Hugh hit the nail right on the head in his rebranded post's
analysis of this thread. People's feelings get hurt when contents are
construed incorrectly.

Posting, according to first order reliability method, should have logical
rules so that information remains true.

I learned FORM as SAP under SOP while taking training in typesetting

A single misplaced orthographic character in a printed form can radically
alter the meaning of the contents.

In cyberspace ... well you can read Hugh's analysis to see the iterative
quality of compounded error.
