Wow. I havent seen a good religous war in some time. Will be burning 
Larry Wall or Guido today? Its getting cold out soon so how about 
burning them both and the rest of the heretics who do not use awk.

[Sorry.. just had a long 'discussion' on how Debian was the one true OS 
and RH/Fedora/Gentoo heretics were the cause of all problems on the 
earth.. I didnt figure I would see one here too.]
