Re: Utterly inexcusable...

and you have no idea how much that underlines how little you understand about how complicated this is...

You could be right. After all, I spent 5 good years of my life researching a topic that I can now summarise in a single line, but that summary would simply not have been possible without not only the 5 years worth of work, but also the decades of experience on which it builds.

I'll have to see if I can find an explanation I understand. In any case, I already saw a fix fly by in the Debian updates. Buggered my uptime, but I can live with that - after you've clocked your first year that's no longer quite as exciting :).
