FWIW, I do from time to time refer to a somewhat well-known comic form
of this meme:
https://dilbert.com/strip/1995-06-24
Usually on the Postfix-users list, when the problem sure looks like the
OP has an under-powered or much too dated system. This is both somewhat
self-deprecating, but at the same time exactly what the comic is about.
I do hope that the strip in question does not become taboo...
