I suspect most samba developers are already technically insane... Of course, since many of them are Australians, you can't tell.

i 2nd that. Developing code for samba is done by the reverse engineering
of microsofts file and printer server sharing software. As anyone would
know, microsoft always wants to be master on their own platform, even if
they have to perform ugly programmer tricks to hit back to the
competition. In this way samba as a CIFS server basicly has been grown
out of ugly, Microsoft initiated, kludges over the previous ones.

You can tell Linus has spent some time in an Aussie pub.

And by the way were not as crazy as those Fins (and possibly Swedes) who sit in a sauna until they almost melt then run stark naked outside to roll in the snow.
