13 I like how it blames portage instead of the real problem. Yea, we run
14 into a occasional bump in the road on this list but overall, emerge does
15 one heck of a job sorting this mess out. If it can find a path to
16 complete a upgrade, it gets there even if it has to spin the wheel a
17 little longer. Poor Alan tho, he just keeps shooting himself in the
18 foot. I'm saving my band-aids for someone who has at least learned to
19 use a better method. Heck, if you or the smart Alan tells me I am doing
20 a upgrade wrong, I listen. Thing is, even I know his script is a
21 disaster without even running it. And I don't even try to claim to be a
22 expert on scripts or that I can eve write one. lol I just know his
23 creates a mess and every once in a while, he posts so that we know we
24 are right.

26 It does serve as a good source of giggles tho. ROFL
