One of the policepersons says that hijacking threads is like "farting in an elevator", which is nonsense.
Farting in an elevator? Give me 5 tries and i'll find out who said that. I also was warned unpolitely about hijacking threads, a few months ago; and i was accused of being a person "that spit chewing gum on the ground, paint their nails on the train in the morning, and yak on cellphones during movies" Does it make sense? I also was almost deciding to switch to another distro, or at least, leave this list; but it's also, nonsense. Please forget about those guys, and enjoy the hundreds of helpful people on this list. After all, net is a great place to feed egos, so you'd meet one of those anywhere. Regards,
