I am a proud member of that crowd.  The "rocks" sites were a good theory,
bad practice.  The author knows just enough to be dangerous and tends to
pass of things which are not factually correct as fact.  Review the
comments by John, myself and others on the qmailrocks list to see what I
am talking about.  The "rocks" project is similar to Windows, it provides
the user with a "operating" system but no really understanding of how it
works and how to fix it when it breaks.
