Generally it's not that we mind the systems running all the time, it's
that we /want/ them to run all the time. I suppose it's a way of making
sure of getting a return (eg: less hassle, downtime) on our investment
(eg: skills).

If comparing penis sizes is your thing, however, you may be better off
on a different mailing list. ;-) I'll forward you an email I got the
other week, claiming you need pumps or pills, if it'd be useful.
