I was only joking too, concerning this case.

But I have a policy of hurting people who:

a) try to hurt me without provocation
b) I catch stealing my things.

Fortunately, my size is enough to stop a)  [the bluff thing is enough] 
and b) hasn't arisen yet.

Last time the bluff was called the problem went away, and that was ages

Anyway, having explained myself I'll get b ack to thinking pure [Linux 
of course] thoughts..
