At the risk of really *being* a troll, I'll philosophize apart from
the technical world for a moment.

Some people are born, grow up, and when the time is
right, based on love, respect, and trust, they start a family.
(You can view ours under /usr/share/misc/ on most systems).

Others are born, grow up, discover they are popular and
fsck around with anyone who'll have them.  They say that
it's more fun, and maybe it is for a while; nature takes its
course and the seeds scatter where they may....

On one hand you'll usually (rules exist to prove exceptions,
right?) have a relatively small group of well-adjusted
individuals after several years.

On the other, you'll have a legions of messed-up bastardized
malcontents.

Draw your own conclusions....

P.S.  I have nothing personal against Linux, Mr. Torvalds, or
$name_here.  It's just that I'm a family-oriented person ;-)
