I don't think that's fair. I didn't criticize the contributions of any
of those people.
For what it's worth: Thank you all who help to make the Internet a
better place. That includes everyone Mark mentioned.

A tirade? Please. It was one sarcastic remark. I'm glad that Dan has
written the software he has. We rely on it daily. And Dan can do
whatever the heck he wants with his software. But everyone on this
list knows how difficult it can be to convince Dan that there might be
a better way. It's a little frustrating sometimes. Thus my remark. In
any case, it was inappropriate, so I apologize.
Dan often laments about how fractured the Unix world is. Yet his
installation method is yet another non-standard installation method I
have to deal with. His software is easy to build and install as long
as it conforms to his ideas about how software should be built and
installed. I'm willing to live with /var/qmail. I am not willing to
live with stuffing everything under /usr/local.
