    The IRS is the one organization that you don't want to fuck with. Remember, these are the guys who took down Al Capone.

    How about the ones where /. stopped allowing us to reply to articles still on the front page? Or when you click on an article, and it says "Nothing to see here, move along"?

    This is the place I go when I take a break from doing work. But if /. is broken, then what do I do? Go back to work? My whole day is ruined!
