I say debian should follow good sense, not policy per se.

3) It's my neigbour's computer.  When I talk to him about "root" or "I
P", he experiences wholly different associations.  Not to think about
"the 's'-bin in the path environment".  I can just see him wonder what
sort of cult I am into.

Thank god he is still blissfully unaware of the sinister unix cult and
their insidious plan to poison all our ordinary software consumers'
air supply with this gpl virus that that well-meaning mister gates is
telling the whole world about, currently.

In the mean while, all of debian's finest are acting up a ritual parade,
in which they stampede all over a grabbag full of old horses' bones,
tossed out onto the town's main street, going over the dusty bones time
and time again.

Is this intended as some magic voodoo mumbo-jumbo ritual to drain the
evil forces from dark lord billg, before he can manage to cast all of
his msn.NET and finalise his sinister aspirations, to become the solemn
and absolute ruler of all, to stand higher even than god himself, to be
The CEO Of The Universe?

Cheers,


Joost
