At the end of the message detailing merge requests, Torvalds wrote: "PS. And to get wider distribution for this message: Digg users - you're all a bunch of Wanking Walruses. And you can quote me on that." Digg users responded by Digging the article repeatedly - it had 2210 diggs at the time of writing, 388 comments, and a top ten slot in the technology section. There is a definite theme developing here - Torvalds yesterday described OpenBSD developers as "masturbating monkeys". Who will Linus insult next in the name of popularising free open source software?
