I just installed the new distribution and every one (and I mean EVERY GODDAMN ONE) of my scripts that call any of your routines that need to know what a host or a directory are f#$king broke. What in god's name is "/usr/local/bin" on a windows machine? Why don't you UNIX weeneies get a grip. F#$king fix it. It used to be great. Now I can't even change a directory.

BTW, did it occur to anyone that the rapid and multiple responses to
this email -- which, given its tone and lack of specific content
qualifies as a troll by any objective measure -- serve to ENCOURAGE this
sort of insistent, badgering, and rude behavior?
I mean, geez -- it worked, didn't it? The guy IS getting his answers --
and very rapidly... In behavioral science, we call this "positive
reinforcement of aberrent behavior".
