Translation:

    "Owner of CVSup2.FreeBSD.ORG foolishly purchased non-parity system
    and inflicted results on unsuspecting world."

1/2 :-)

I keep telling people to buy parity or ECC and they just look at me

parity make a difference in Quake Frame Rate scores."  Maybe I should

at any other non-parity folks?  :-)
