Funny.  I was just re-reading it last night.

It _is_ amusing, but I am not sure if it should go to

You know, I don't know what to do with it either. 

I have half a notion to submit it to the OLS call for
"Linux Essay Contest" just to see what
happens....

It's *such* a
nice reading and really amusing, so it shouldn't get lost.
