   @MisterRogersSnapped @Zergling_man @dcc @goo @j @shibao I should probably mention that this is copypasta: https://web.archive.org/web/20121018125753/https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html
   
   While I'm on the topic, the GNU website appears to be down, at the moment, but archive links are preferable anyway: they have taken to retroactively editing things without noting the edit or altering the attribution, so I have no idea who censored the "Know your Unix System Administrator" piece, but on May 30, 2020 (not too long after they kicked :rms: out), someone removed some words from https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/know.your.sysadmin.txt , so the Last-Modified header on that URL reads "Sat, 30 May 2020 10:54:03 GMT" and https://web.archive.org/web/20200507133552/https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/know.your.sysadmin.html differs from https://web.archive.org/web/20200507133552/https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/know.your.sysadmin.html . It is one thing to edit someone's jokes retroactively (I don't think it should be done; I don't even like that they changed the quote style), but they don't even note that they edited it anywhere, and that part is kinda infuriating.
