The warranty thing makes me think of a line from Tommy Boy.

“I can take a shit in a box and put a guarantee on it. Believe me, I’ve got the time. My point is all they’ve done is sold you a guaranteed piece of shit.”

Yes. Everyone and their mother posted that thinking they were clever.

It is also very telling that the concerns over warranties came up when:

The previous owner of the company who everyone knew and trusted died

There was active concern over the future of the company

The person trying to sell them that is a deranged lunatic with a sex pest best friend

The company is actively under threat of a hostile takeover spearheaded by people who might have killed the previous owner.

Are warranties foolproof? no. But they give you something so that you are only deciding if a lawyer is worth it when circumstances change significantly. Rather than by default any time anything goes wrong.

  Where? They’re not in this thread.
  
  This also isn’t in defense of LTT; it’s basically Linus’ argument.
