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