    Give the man a break!  This is a hacker's list, and many of us on it
    really *ARE* hackers.  The above remark was standard hacker jargon,
    and not really intended to be interpreted as an insult at all.  If you
    are going to participate in a hacker's list, you gotta develop tough
    hide.  This is no worse than a code walk-thru or design review in
    industry!  This attitude is part of the image of being a really good
    programmer.  :-)
