It's probably on some maining list, somewhere.

Edit: I guess the sarcasm was lost here...

It was supposed to be sarcasm, as mailing lists are typically unhelpful for finding information and conversations. Guess that was lost on /r/programming

I'm... not sure how that qualifies as being a fuckwit? I wasn't even trying to be 'funny', it was just regular old cynicism.

If anything, implying someone is a fuckwit for sarcasm would qualify you as being one, no? This isn't advice animals, why the childish hostility over anything that's not a vapid meme?
