There's no sense in hurling insults at me. I don't think I did anything to deserve that. By no means do I feel that anyone is 'unworthy' of using Plan 9 or gaining 'wisdom' from it. I try to encourage any and all interested in using, developing, and taking away lessons from it, to do so. I am of the mind that code speaks louder than endless pontification, and that reading the source and list archives can answer a lot of questions. In the case of Plan 9, reading the source is also a joy because it's easy to follow.
