i posted- "Never EVER blame the user programs. How hard can this be to understand? -Linus (marc.info)" half an hour back on HN. This was my first post here. It was flagged dead within a minute because a certain gentleman assumed that i had waded through his comments yesterday and had 'stolen' the post from there.
