You *get used to it*?! I guess you *can* get used to threats of physical
violence against your person (which he emits with regularity), but
wouldn't you rather use something like Freesco, or, hell, just about
*any* other firewalling distro, where you normally get (at the very
least) courteous responses?

(I haven't seen any death threats from Morrell yet. I guess this is a
positive point, but only in the loosest possible sense.)

Hell, all communities have the occasional flamewar and/or people getting
stuffy, but Morrell is far, far beyond the pale.
