hehehe, yeah... the quoted example was so not a rant..  imnsho some of
the my top favorite best rants (and there is a list of top 100 rants
somewhere) has to include Linus saying: "one more time: you caused the
problem, you need to fix it. None of this 'I can do whatever I want,
others have to clean up after me' crap." and some by Alan during the
ipchains era and the gnu dude. I do not even think any rant of hr
ever made it into the top 1000 rants :)
