I'm going to back up my buddy Wade here. I was flamed a while back for cross-posting the infamous Byrd's Eye View (TM) articles.
Frankly, though I know it's frowned on by the l33t, it doesn't bother me to see the same post on two different mailing lists. Perhaps that means I'm not a hacker yet. Just to show that I'm on the right track, I'm going to go buy some more toys from thinkgeek. Hackerdom, here I come!
