I think we can shorten that to, simply, "Everyone listen to Valerie."

I don't usually do "Me too!". But in this case, I will make an exception. Absolutely, listen to Valerie, Goddess of Sanity in the world of Linux/Unix filesystems. And whom I've always suspected was Stephen Tweedie's long lost twin sister, separated at birth.

hail Ivanova!

And keep in mind the Linux file system mantra:

«Valerie is always right.
I will listen to Valerie.
I will not ignore Valeries recommendations.
Valerie is god.»

(Stolen from B5)

«Quoters of B5 are always right.
I will listen to quoters of B5.
I will not ignore the recommendations of those who quote B5.
JMS is god.»
