  @zzt teaser for the thing I am writing:
  "This resulted in Stallman taking the first draft of his unhinged plans to make a UNIX replacement and nailing them to the doors of the net.unix-wizards and net.usoft newsgroups in September of 1983."

  @zzt another teaser, I love this line I wrote:
  "apparently Berkeley pulling off a Ship of Theseus with the entire UNIX operating system really pissed off the phone company."
