Rather off topic but amusing source of information just to
lighten up the attitude of some. I'm sure everyone here probably
relates vaguely to at least one of the characters - which one are
you? :o)

With respect, if you wish your posts to be taken seriously and
your
posts to have a more "adult" air to them, then using tired and
somewhat immature terms such as "Visual$, Windoze" etc is not
going to
achieve that. You do not need to use an insulting tone to
promote D,
and using such terms only makes you look bad.
Of course, some of us (myself being included as pretty big FSF
advocate) like the GNU/Linux way of doing things better, but as
they
say, there's more than one way to cook a goose. Do we really
need to
treat people disrespectfully?
