This must be the best way to keep the plebeian hands off the artwork:
museums that are only open to curators.
This certainly also provided for my technical contribution to this mailing list.

you misunderstand the strength of Plan 9 and use a false premise in regards to the cost. the point of Plan 9 is to have a heterogeneous collection of machines, each dedicated to a finite set of services (resources) that one can import, export and access in a uniform way. you seem to imply that requiring more than one machine is elitist. one can build a RPi Plan 9 cpu for less than $50; hardware that can run an fs (any fs) is cheap-to-free.

This is unhelpful. I wouldn't even go as far as calling Kurt a troll.
You are just hurling off boring insults whereas he was pointing out
the sad truth in a joking thus diplomatic manner - subsequently
getting supported by your replies - that this mailing list is snarky,
unfriendly and often unhelpful. Although I hope this is just you being
drunk and attempting to troll yourself.

please tell us about your Plan 9 setup.
