Love to.

Something like:

..which doesn't compare the ntfs kernel driver strangely enough (even if it
did, taking data from one of the project sites is difficult to justify on
impartiality grounds).

Nice detraction from the main thrust of the argument btw. So what happens if
the kernel r/w driver gets released? There will be fireworks with
mount.ntfsthen...
