The part that made it nice was that the OP mispelled "duelling" as
"dualing", playing right into my hands.
For the non-native English speakers:
(1) There is an instrumental called "Duelling Banjos", featured in the
movie "Deliverance".
(2) This guy wanted the sheet music, mispelling it "Dualing".
(3) "Duel" in English means "fight", but "dual" means "double", "twain",
or "paired".
So it was obvious to joke about Linux support for more than one banjo.
It helps that the banjo is not only a musical instrument, but a
funny-sounding one with rural associations.
Funny how stuff isn't funny anymore once you explain it. :-/
