Sadly I think this is just people adding complexity because, 'that=E2=80=99= s how Linux does it', and must be correct. Either that or they desire compl= exity for familiarity; an even more chilling possibility. I'm truly baffled. "Let us not trust the good people who developed this system to know what th= ey were doing. We are users with little systems development experience, and= clearly know more than them." At least that=E2=80=99s the message I'm getting from all of this... downrig= ht disgraceful. >iru
