I used to like Phil Greenspun. I read one of his books and he seemed
to make sense. Then my boss had me install and administer AOLServer
(Greenspun's web server software) alongside Oracle. That was a year of
hell I can tell you. Being laughed at pityingly by other sysadmins was
only part of it. Thankfully we're now back on Apache.

I wasn't quite so convinced of Phil's opinion on anything after that!
