well, bully for you. i guess that must make you so proud.
if someone doesn't want a service enabled then they should not install
the package that provides that service. if they want the service, then
install the appropriate package. simple. their choice to install or not
install.
now what is so fucking difficult to understand about that?

you must be some kind of genius to figure that out all by yourself. gee,
i wish i had of thought of that. i wish several other people in this
thread had thought of that. oh. that's right. we did. i guess you aren't
such a genius after all.

DON'T INSTALL THE DAEMON IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUN IT.
WHY IS THE BLEEDING OBVIOUS SO FAR BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION?

explicable only by you not having read it.
