What is unacceptable about rudeness?

I've been trying to get the most recent version running on an old
Performa 550 (68030, no FPU) because it was relatively cheap. Can't get
it to go multi-user.

And how about Mac OS X? I personally like Mac OS X, but let me tell you
what it's like trying to load it onto an old beige G3 we're using for a
test box. Or, rather, let me work you for some sympathy, because IO Data
won't be supporting the SCSI card somebody bought two years ago, so I
cut the first 8G on the external drive into 3.5 for Mac OS 9 and 4.5 for
Mac OS X. Tried to mount Applications on its own partition, just for
grins. Got a hint for anybody interested -- don't use the new LABEL
declaration in /etc/fstab on Mac OS X. My Japanese input method freezes
when I try to type in anything half-way obscure. (I'd better fix that
back before I head home tonight, I think.)

Rude? What's wrong with rude?
