Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch, that's all you're doing.. Whether or not it
was in CVS has no effect on how easy it is to submit diffs.  cp is not
*that* hard to use.

For example:

fetch http://advocacy.freebsd.org/foo.html
cp foo.html foo.html.old
$EDITOR foo.html
diff -u foo.html.old foo.html > foo.html.diffs.for.the.site
rm foo.html*

Gosh that was *so* hard.  In fact I bet someone with a bit more awk
expertise could create a more automated sh script.

Uh, yeah.  Right.  It's *all* their fault.  Not the fault of the lazy
masses.
