No, Dan Bernstein does not write any such thing. I take no credit for
Greg Lindahl's mistakes, even if he has adopted a quote of mine for his
signature.

(In context, the quote [``Perhaps I'm commenting a bit cynically, but I
think I'm qualified to''] was making fun of him. He said that you need
at least a year of experience in some field and continued ``until you
have that experience, I don't think you're qualified to comment.'' I
replied that I had such experience, etc. Now the guy uses it in his sig.
Amazing what they must feed yuckies these days.)
