Yup. And this wasn't even Unix/Linux, this was on the topic of linux-
as-beer-commercials.
Personally, while I do get tired of a certain level of whining, I didn't
hear that conversation as a whiny one - it was a statement of a problem,
and *mostly* stated with intent to analyse.
Sometimes you need to have a long rambling conversation to analyse what
a problem IS so you can go tackle it. Toughness is appropriate for the
tackling-the-problem end. For dealing with it.
Damned hard to deal with something when you don't know what it is.
