Seems like if you go back in the thread the threat was I'd come out
and get my ass handed to me by grammar-correcting interweb nazis.
Then I laid down a few numbers from some respected memebers of this
list, against my own hack numbers and suddenly the bag full of "old
car, crap tech, not enough power" bla bla bla.   We both knew that
going in, that's how we got down this path.  I'm sure Lieb even has a
multisyllabic word for it, but all I can come up with is "sour
grapes."

"Here is something that helps me:  I'm going to die and everyone I
know is going to die.  We're all riding in a plane that is about to
crash, it's already swerving and going up and down.  Are you going to
sit there and worry about "I don't have the shoes I want?"  Why would
you give a f*** about anything if you're sliding towards death.  It's
the only thing that keeps me going." - Ron Bennington
