Never thought life is too short for this level of fanatacism? People seem to speak to Pat like he's a dead relative they like to still talk to before they died... A dog maybe...

What's your beef man? All I did was point out that Patrick Volkerdink announced the release of Slackware 13.37 at 13:37. What's so fanatical about that?

We're not fanatics, we're happy Slackers.

It's a joke, not fanaticism.

No, no...there's more to me than being a Slackware user. I have hidden depths, I am a veritable Mariana Trench.

As mentioned, it's just a joke.

I mean, you can analyze everything, and make it ridiculous. Really our life is without meaning if you analyze it. You live max 100 years, which is not even a blink of the eye compared to eternity. And all that you've done, whether you've been the president of the US or a bum, it doesn't matter after a million years. Soccer is just 22 millionairs runnning for a ball, etc etc etc

A little enthusiasm or fun doesn't hurt, it brings some color in life. But I wouldn't say it is fanatic.

Here I tried some deep conversation.

We have to make allowances for Gentoo users like Chris.

You can live for an eternity, but that would be better said in a post in the general forum.
