> Thanks Linus! I don't care if you're a jerk, you deliver like a freaking boss! He's not a jerk. People just like to post writings of his, out of context. My favourite out-of-context post of his was here on HN where it was the typical "oo, isn't Linus sweary!" porn. It was post ~150 of a mailthread, and he was blowing up at a user. I went back through the thread, and this was post #12 of Linus's, and most of his previous comments were politely trying to help that same user understand a concept. The user was being dickish and probably intentionally obstructive.
