Linus, I remember when I first started to see you in cyberland. I think we are very fortunate that you found us and participate with us.

LOL. No. I was a Professor of Computer and Network Security. When I saw the papers submitted by students it was there that I saw a degradation of research abilities. It was rather shocking and eye-opening but indicative of the nature of education and expectations that have changed over the years.
