Theo has been back for a day already. and like the rest of a lot of
us, is trying to get a test and release cycle out the door to ship a
release - that means we have better things to do than entertain misc@
by responding to Wim's idiotic bullshit.
Wanna help? go install snapshots on as many different things as you
can and tell us if you see any problems. That's a much more useful
activity than watching misc@ for trolls. Pop popcorn with the waste
heat of all the machines you are spinning up.
