That's a joke right?

VSS is by far the shittiest VCS I've had the displeasure to use, though I will confess I never had to suffer through RCS and CVS.

It's certainly the only one which managed to destroy data. 'twas a good thing I'd already used other source control systems before VSS, because that experience would definitely have made me flee from source control systems for a while (much as Java did static type systems).
