Horst, give him a fscking credit, after all! RTFS _really_ applies to both
sides. Get a friggin' clue already. _If_ one is going to implement such
things at all he will not mess with chmod(1). ->notify_change() is your
friend. And CODA's. Please, stop playing idiot, you've already done it in
very convincing way. If you are trying to outperform Shawn - take this
pissing contest to email, OK?

when two groups greet each other with projectile vomit and long loud
screams. Can imitate speech better than parrots, but can't be used as
pets due to guano problems.
