- As a general rule, I think that solutions to everyday common
- problems ought to be purveyed in everyday common newsgroups.
- Categorizing solutions by the language they're done in is a bit
- like appraising paintings only by whether they're oil or acrylic.
- People shouldn't oughta have to care much whether their problem
- is solved with Perl, C, sed, awk, *sh, or nroff.

- When you expect the world to be ideal it occasionally tries to
- live up to your expectations.
