- silentbicycle 17y agoYeah. He caught monotone at a bad time. Graydon had just gone on sabbatical... Also, 'disaster' is a bit...harsh. As I heard, he just telnet'd and asked for "help".
- krakensden 17y agoWell... it was a disaster in the sense that it caused a row and meant they had to switch versioning systems.
