What better way to insure the longevity of Linux than to recruit new Kernel Hackers with tales of heated debate and intrigue (I've noticed two in the last week).

I haven't been following this thing closely but my impression from this forum was it went something like this:
Alan: You're an idiot!
Linus: You're an idiot!
Alan: Fine! I'll take my kernel and go home!
Linus: Fine! I'll get someone else to do the kernel!
Later...
Alan: Linus, you bitch! Have you been seeing another kernel developer on the side?
Linus: Yes, but I was a fool! I love you! I've always loved you!
Alan: And I love you!
Linus: You're not an idiot!
Alan: Oh, Linus! (Kiss kiss kiss)
Linus: Oh Alan! (Kiss kiss kiss)
Linus: Oh! Alan!
Hmm. Maybe I've been reading too many romance novels lately...
