Well, fat lot of use you so-called Unix literates turned out to be.
Fine, sure, you all come in here with your fancy postings about "void
*chicken", ksh quirks, why fortune does what it apparently does and
other such trivia.  But when it comes to some real meaty inherently
nauseous Unix vomit, no-one is prepared to say anything more than:

   [The author's name/ID has been left out in order to maintain
   his/her/its/their anonymity (and protect him/her/it/them from
   unwanted, yet greatly deserved, embarrassment which would tend to
   bring into question his/her/its/their position as a
   Usenet.personality)]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but surely a question about one of Unix's
least/most (delete as appropriate) fundamental routines should not
be posted to rec.arts.chicken-farming or comp.unix.chickens.fashion
or one of the moderated chicken-related groups?  Surely *this* is
the place that people post to when they want answers fast?  Surely
this is where articles that require prompt replies are posted?
Surely articles are posted here by people who want answers to their
postings rather quickly?  Surely people who want their answers
quickly post their relevent questions here?  Surely
quick-answer-requiring articles are posted here?  Surely articles
posted here are written by people who require quick answers (or are
answers to postings written by people requiring such)?  Surely I'm
saying "surely" too much?  Surely "surely" is being said too much by
me?  Surely "surely" appears far too frequently in this posting?
Surely I may accurately be classified as a member of the set of
those people who overuse the word "surely"?  Surely I'm getting a
bit repetitive?  Surely I'm getting a bit repetitive?  Surely I'm
getting a bit repetitive?

Disclaimer:  Ignore the above paragraph.

Pah!  Looks like I'll actually have to read the manual entry after
all...  cheese, I hate all this phlegming about in hyperspace.  "man
mmap | removeobfuscation" here I come...
