    As funny as this is, it's worth mentioning that it seems like Hans Reiser has really come around to understanding the crime he committed and is genuinely making an effort to turn himself around.

    https://ftp.mfek.org/Reiser/Letters/ Number 2 ... / reiser_response.html

    I was asked by a kind Fredrick Brennan for my comments that I might offer on the discussion of removing ReiserFS V3 from the kernel. I don’t post directly because I am in prison for killing my wife Nina in 2006.

    I am very sorry for my crime–a proper apology would be off topic for this forum, but available to any who ask.

    There's too much to quote here, and it's too spread out, but I think that while we make dark humor jokes (and I am certainly not saying dark humor is inherently bad) we should also appreciate the progress he has made.

    Murdering your wife is one of those things that, no matter what else you achieve in your life, people will say “there goes Hans the wife murderer”. Even if you only ever murdered one wife and have shown no signs of making a habit of it.

    You see that bridge over there? I built that with my own two hands. But do they call me Hans the bridge builder? No...

    You see the town hall building on the hill? I laid every one of those bricks. But do they call me Hans the bricklayer? No....

    But you shag one sheep...

    I will never get a kick out of the abrupt turn to his wikipedia entry

    Your link 404s for me

    So you're saying the link is... dead?

    Weird. I updated it with the dir the letters are in.
