Dan not only invented TCP/IP and the Internet, but he also invented
Unix and Al Gore.

I don't like Dan's personality and I find some of his ideas strange.
But there seem to be some good ideas in there, and he does write
pretty solid code.

However.... :-) I saw a comment that Qmail doesn't work properly on
Solaris. So, of course, Solaris is broken. And Qmail didn't work right
with ReiserFS, so of course ReiserFS was broken.

I also kind of picture Dan burning Weitse Venema dolls whenever
there's a new moon.
