As someone who doesn't care, my eyes bleed every time someone tries to make others feel small for no reason using improper grammar:

"As na linux/unix sysadmin": typo ('na') aside it is 'As a linux/unix sysadmin'

"...my eyes are bleeding everytime I see" I think you meant 'my eyes bleed', otherwise it means that, coincidentally, you eyes were already bleeding every time you happen to see someone use cat in that way.

"everytime" is wrong, the correct form is "every time"

My point isn't to insult you, it is to show you that everyone has blind spots and we shouldn't give each other such a hard time.




Grammar and spelling blind spots don't compromise the security of thousands of people. I think if you're going to make such glaring mistakes, you should be able to take a bit of guff for it.

Neither does useless use of cat. Or am I missing something that I couldn't read because of a deleted comment?


No you're not, my mistake. Due to the parent comment being flagged, I incorrectly the response as a reply to different comment.


Haha, that escalated quickly ;)
