eh.
It's somewhere between a slightly too casual American abuse of the
English language and the fact that it is THIS OpenBSD Apache server
which does chrooting, not a general Apache feature, and you won't find
it anywhere else.

Ok, I admit my justification is more of an "After-the-fact" analysis
than a "this is what I meant when I wrote it", but it is kinda true. :)

As for the question mark at the end, it's to be read with a slightly
accusatory tone, as in "this used to work fine, you screwed this up for
me, you had better have had a good reason, I'm giving you one chance to
explain yourself"...so somewhere between a question and a challenge.

I'll admit it isn't fine literature.  It was supposed to be a little bit
of a fun read, though.  I'll think about that...it is also supposed to
be approachable by people for whom English, or worse, Nicklish, isn't
their native language, and it sounds like I missed in this case.
