No, it's always the people with sticks up their asses who bitch
about it that draw attention to it in the first place.

No one bothered to bitch at Felix Lee on "Mon, 20 May 2002 00:19:54
-0700" in the message with the subject " Re: [PLUG] /dev/ttyS0
strangeness" when he said "Generally, on a multi-user system you
don't want everybody to have access to /dev/audio or whatever,
cuz then a remote user can fuck things up for the person sitting
at the console."

No one bothered to bitch at Russell Senior on "30 May 2002 09:03:56
-0700" in the message with the subject "Re: [PLUG] (no subject)"
when he said "Learn to fucking edit!"  (rlangis complained about
the tone, but not the wording.)

And you know what?  No one fucking noticed.
