ego-surfing

[rone]

It seems that my three most popular quotes are:

• Sanity is like money; you should just have enough to get by.  Any more and you turn into a freak.
• Pretty, smart, sane: Pick two.
• If you don't use emacs, you're a pathetic, mewling, masochistic weakling and i can't be bothered to convert you.

The first one i really like, the second is a cheap hack, and the third is so over the top, but that's probably why people like it.

I don't know who first said either of these, but they're some of my favorites. Some paraphrasing may have happened over the years.

"Emacs is my editor, my newsreader, and my psychiatrist."

"Every program expands until it gains the ability to read mail, after which it becomes obsolete."

The latter is, I believe, generally attributed to jwz.
