I'm rather sick of being blamed for problems that are not
seen in procps 3. Somebody posts about procps needing to
read 5 files per process, then somebody else makes a rude
comment about me... never minding that the procps 3 code
doesn't have the behavior that was being complained about.

I also have to make the differences clear. Really, I hate
doing that. I've learned a harsh lesson though; failure to
advertise leads to forks. It also leads to people using
obsolete code. Some poor soul even started hacking on top,
not realizing that it was already rewritten and is improving
quickly.

Do realize that you _started_ with buggy old code. I really
wish you'd just let it die. There wasn't any need to start
hacking on that buggy old code; I take patches, even from you.
