You know - I have had the (mis)forune of working with some of your
people - straight out of college.. While I was impressed with their
capacities, I was duly unimpressed with their inability to shut the
fuck up when appropriate. If they knew that a typo on the command
line was more easily correctable after the fact (since of course set
-o vi ) was in place.. then they may (I DOUBT IT) shut the fuck
up.... Anyhow - just a pissed off observation...

Teach them to STFU when noone asked them shit to begin with.... Or -
put a dick (my dick) in their mouths....
