[-- Attachment #1 --] Actually, it is a feature of the unix operating system in keeping with some of the more basic philosophic tennants that have guided its composition over the years, e.g. errors and system notice/warnings are not to be hidden, and that it should instruct the user as to its innner workings. It annoys the shit out of me sometimes, but its usefull to know whats going down. This is off-topic, I spose, but in some sense salient to system security.
