Ha-ha certainly not, there is too much to read. But looking at your own
links would be a good start. For example, this conversation could have
simply been "I found a proprietary thing called daemontools that is an

"no, it's harder to find than it should be here is the link..". And
wouldn't that have been pleasant?  Anyways, enjoy your weekend
