No, I don't mind at all, and it will be a pleasure to see myself quoted there. 
(An attribution would be nice, and linking to the original Greenspun quote).

There are more quotes by me here:

I see, thanks. I'll probably consult you people on IRC about some stuff.

OK, thanks. I think I'll set up a separate svn branch on svn.berlios.de for 
the Moose conversion, so I'll be able to do the conversion incrementally 
without breaking the trunk and so that I can continue fixing bugs, etc. in 
the trunk in case I need to.

Thanks again.

The bad thing about hardware is that it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't.
The good thing about software is that it's consistent: it always does not
work, and it always does not work in exactly the same way.
