This is the most appropriate "Redundant" moderated post I've ever seen.

It's especially fun trying to hit it from a laggy VNC connection.

Wow...that guy was trolling ArsTechnica a decade ago. Interesting to see that s/he is still up to their old tricks.

You just need to read it in a Dr. Evil voice.

Yeah...it showed up a day or so after I posted it. Very strange - the db claimed that the comment UID was invalid for a while. Perhaps it was a transient problem. Sorry for being so acerbic, but I've felt the heavy hand of /. admins before. I made the mistake of replying to the "post of doom" many years ago, and I was banned from moderating (by Michael) for a looong time.

Wow...I'm not really sure what to say. I created a comment yesterday, and the message ID for it is no longer found. It didn't portray this new section in a positive light, so perhaps the powers that be removed it? If that's the case, slashdot has gotten a LOT worse than I previously imagined.

This is crap. I mean that seriously - I've been here for over a decade, and this is the first time I'm actually concerned for the future of the site. Not in the way that it will "run out of funding and close", but in a way that all the readers who make /. what it is will vanish.

Please stop what you're doing.

I had to change my long-standing nickname to log back in. I've had an account here since 2001 or so.

Do you still provide the source code that runs the site? I remember that slashcode.com would track your changes in the past. Is this still true? I see that the last post there was in 2009.

Deep geeky stuff please. This is News for Nerds. If you can't get into details here, then where can you?

I wish I had mod points - that's the best comment I've read here all week!

Well said, Bruce. Work-life balance is one of those things that you begin to appreciate more as you get older.

Actually, PSI was acquired by IBM

Thread over - you win.
