    Darius the Extremely Dumb posted this in response to a thoroughly
    on-topic post, which he has snipped.

    ">>> Disk reading/writing heads fly very close to the rotating surface
    being written. Atmospheric dust is bigger than the gap,and could wreck
    the process.

    Hard disks are assembled in clean rooms, so the internal space
    starts off dust-free. Atmospheric pressure inside the unit has to match
    outside air-pressure, but the two spaces are connected by a slightly
    porous air-filter that lets gas in and out, but no dust."

    This is not only on-topic, but makes an entirely relevant and quite
    useful point.

    Darius the extremely dumb seems to think that "off-topic" actually means "incomprehensible to Darius" and he does not seem to be able to
    comprehend very much at all.

    This is a troll-like but legitimate response - he does deserve it.
