on one hand people are suggesting the last two days' worth of traffic
resembles the freebsd soap opera aired not long ago:

    http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=92148+0+current/freebsd-chat

on the other, you have this old quote from, i believe, presotto with regards
to one TB:

    Leave Thomas alone.  Someone has to whack the hornets
    nest with a branch every now and again just to
    remind the hornets that they're still alive.

so, which one are we having?

ps: personally, after trying (and failing) to persuade people that plan9 is
worth a try (for the third time) at ucalgary, choate's little rant that
started everything off definitely seems to have touched a note with me...
