imagined communities are such an interesting psycho-social phenomenon
to me. "oh, you use (or at least flashed a 'gang sign' of) Debian
Linux? now you're not just some random schmuck; instead I've
identified you as a member of my tribe and I will volunteer aid to
you."
I'm glad you got help though. sorry about your car. :(

I wonder how many people left you to rot because you didn't have an
Eagles flag or a Marines bumper sticker on your car though...
