Surely this is going to result in me sending you lots of rude emails
everytime cursing you when my SSH connections are terminated for no real
reason on a link flap? Privacy addresses are handy on servers too such
as DNS servers...
When on occasion I am forced to use Windows, those darn PuTTY disconnect
popups I see each time I disconnect/connect from our wireless network
nearly put axe swinging mood as it is. Please, spare me experiencing
this pain under Linux...
Of course I could be talking nonsense, so ignore this email and keep up
the good work :)
Cheers
