Nonetheless, it reminds me of a little project that would be a fun
vacation -- do a global grep of the source and man pages for "daemon" and
replace each occurence with such things as "cherub", "seraph", and the
like.

I think someone started in on something like this once, but I haven't
heard anything about it for several years. 

The thought brings up some interesting ideas, however: Would it help
clarify the structure of the system to sub-classify daemons? Would the
use of metaphors borrowed from the "good" side of Christian literature
raise cries of blasphemy? Etc.

And, of course, has anybody ever written up a good explanation of the
reason that pointing to world read-write permissions as the mark of the
beast tends to point less at *NIX than at the dominant desktop OS?

(I need to get back to work, now, ...)
