I'm a user. It's what I expect. If I wanted an OS that protected me
from myself, I wouldn't be running Unix. Please give me the rope I
need to get the job done. If that happens to be enough that I can hang
myself, and I sometimes do - well, I got what I asked for. When I want
to be coddled, I'll run a different OS.
