Redirecting hate to legitimate targets. For example, hateful file 
systems that break the stuff he wants to break. Hateful operating 
systems that don't actually implement the file systems right. Hateful 
operating systems that make good file systems impossible. Hateful file 
systems that make people think there's a problem caused by doing the 
right thing. And NFS is always on topic because there's no end to how 
hateful it is (though none of that should be interpreted to divert 
legitimate hate from Microsoft's network file system, which is 
particularly hateful because they once had one that was only a little 
hateful instead).

There's stuff above here
