Gack, you guys are pulling me into the gutter. :P

Ok, let me clarify that this was not the "American tradition" that
I was referring to. I hope my harmless post doesn't turn into headlines:

"In other news, a little known programmer was charged with a sexual
harassment suit by the genius kernel hacker, Linus Torvalds. This
is the first known example of ICSA (Inter-Continental Sexual Harassment).
Bill Gates comments, '" This is the sort of thing that proves freeware
OS hacking is deteriorating our moral fiber, if Linus had been using
the Microsoft Network this would not have happened...."'"
