He insists on replying to each and=20 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.
