Even if venting was the intent, Mark accomplished more than venting.
He reduced the likelihood that Bob would eventually
be written off as a problem user or some such.
A problem user being one who attempts strange things,
e.g. using his computer in the shower,
and then neglects to tell us about them.
The result being that something that works perfectly for everyone
else fails miserably for him, but no one will ever know why.
