Yeah, but you didn't bitch out Sam for breaking your system. You
accepted that it was part of what you signed up for when running
unstable. You spent the time to learn how to get out of the hole. You
now know quite bit more about how to fix a broken system, or at least
some new approaches. It was a "learning experience". Like most learning
experiences, is was unexpected, annoying and painful. That's because if
it's easy and fun, we don't learn :-).
