I agree.

PS, interesting to note that up to recently, we used to be pretty proud 
in this NG of not having had any major personal attacks or wars.

Ah, well, there also was a time when the xhost command was unneeded on 
the Internet.

The famous 80/20 rule doesn't apply here. It's more like 98/2. And 
that's really depressing, considering the waste, extra work, and 
gratuituous obstacles we all have to face, just for the sake of a small 
fraction.
