Well.  This little exchange just let me know exactly how seriously
I should take Brett Glass.

I was able install ctwm in less than a minute.  If Brett is unable
to install a port, it's obvious that his agenda has nothing to do
with reality, or that he's rambling on about things he knows nothing
about.

Just pointing this out for the benefit of anyone who might be
mistakedly taking him seriously.
