That is absolutely tremendous! Now I know that many of the things that
irritate me privately are generally irritating! (I was taking them
personally!)
I wish that he would have defined 'hacker'. In my book, he is using it
exactly correctly. But, the term has gotten ripped off and made into
something evil - which isn't fair.
And, finally, I wish that he would have included a portion on quoting, but
that may well be outside of the scope of that particular FAQ.
I would like to see this, as well as a Quoting FAQ published on this list on
a weekly basis. (These messages that say nothing more than "Me too" (or
something similar) are meaningless and irritating - at least to me!)
Thanks for posting it! Let's do it again sometime!
