At any rate, I'm not sure if this poses much of a threat to the general Linux community but it's always best to be forewarned."

    From LSSU's 2002 Banished Words List, under the redundancies section -

    FOREWARN - "But if not, then warn after the fact."

    Please don't use that word any more. It's redundant.

    Dumb question. What happened between yesterday and today that suddenly made the item newsworthy?
