Some of you seem to be missing the point: it's FUN! Dave obviously
enjoys doing this. Read his WWW page and the way he tells it as a
therapy session: it shows he's on a trip. Furthermore, what he's doing
may well be useful to others. So don't work up a lather about it. Sit
back and enjoy the show, or ignore it. Don't begrudge him his fun.
BTW Dave: have you broken 1000 BogoMIPS yet?
Regards,
Richard....
