Are you objecting to the posts/advise in that thread? Whereby I advised
the poster to review:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/249629>
and later advised Knute to:

Do you consider that advise as wrong or as a 'finger fast reply'?

I notice that you didn't step up and offer a 'non-fast finger reply', or
for that matter *any* reply to the OP in the thread. So I'm confused by
your reply and the example. Perhaps you can clarify?
