*whimpering and resisting the urge to hide under the bed*

I remember having to modify a rule in sendmail.cf back in the days before
the web, before m4 macros, when 10Base5 was how we were wiring boxes together.
Do you have any idea how long it took me to figure out that tabs != spaces?
It took a sick, sick mind to come up with the obfuscated hell that is
sendmail.cf.  I thought I'd gotten over the trauma, but the shakes have
returned, so perhaps I'm not really past it.
