Some activities don't need replacing with a more productive one, they just need eliminating. Being obnoxious is unproductive, but that's not the annoying thing here either. The thing about Bunk which is annoying is the way he is continually searching for reasons to destroy testing by proving it bad, and continually *failing*. Not many people would mind if he was actually right. It's being wrong every time, on a weekly basis (because he has an axe to grind but no actual point) which annoys people. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
