If that's a rant I wonder what you call the ????? that Linus > Torvald (hope I have that written right!) does? > 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 :)
