Words of wisdom

[erratio]

From one of the mailing lists I frequent:

It's hard to get too dogmatic about whether you
use a shovel with a pointy tip or a flat tip; one works better
for one type of dirt, the other for another... but set two cars
side by side, both just about equally capable, and people will
get pretty passionate. Put two computers, each of which enable
the users to do just about everything that the other can do, and
the passions run even hotter. Two cameras, each capable of taking
a picture that only an expert could differentiate... and maybe
not even then... stand back! The only way to get people more
wound up is to set them arguing about something wholly (ehem)
imaginary like "god".
