[TUHS] Clem's Law.

[steve jenkin]

I thought this comment was very good.

I went looking for “Clem’s Law” (presume Clem Cole) and struck out.

Any hints anyone can suggest or history on the comment?

	Plan 9 is very cool but I am channeling my inner Clem, 
	Plan 9 didn't meet Clem's law.
	It was never compelling enough to make the masses love it.
	Linux was good enough.

invoked his law on this mailing list in various contexts, check out
