'never indicated' .. are very strong words in FAVOUR and giving TONS of 'respect' to the 'owner' lets see some respect being begot to raja for this praise > The word "Linux" is a trademark of Linus Torvalds "- this means any > efforts by the volunteers could, at least in theory, later be usurped by > the owner for personal gain." c'mon russ .. tiger should not pounce on lambs .. he who has committed no sin will throw the first stone .. ilug-cal connection IS surely used for personal gains .. can ALL members unanimously say (forget solemnly affirm) that they have NEVER EVER mentioned the ilug-cal connection in their business at all ! you carry local chapter issues to Linus levels .. too strong a medicine quoting lines from one of the msgs : "... the reason most of us (those that are doing so) are able to make money on Linux is also because Linux *IS* FREE! " i was unclear what this meant .. i mean vis-a-vis ilug-cal, is there the smell of matters monetary .. in ilug-cal .. since this excerpt is contained in a post to ilug-cal .. confusion indeed ! > I will tell you this much. The less trust and respect people are > offered, the less they will offer in return. hmm .. good point .. for ALL the respect offered .. can we have a web site up and running .. please Please PLEASE !!! fat good does the respect giving do ! it takes weeks of requesting for 'delegating' despite YOUR saying so .. what is wrong .. enough respect NOT given ??? bullshit .. giving respect didn't work .. YET ! maybe pointing out the lacuna will ! > I know that each time I read > the above type of commentary, my respect for certain members of the LUG > goes down considerably. this is great .. your respect for the 'owner' is like the rock of gibralter .. good work .. keep that up .. even if we don't get our web site .. even if we don't meet .. even if we don't take part in book fair/compass .. even if we don't have seminars/ workshops, etc .. even if sarai.net guys come all the way from delhi and give a demo of LINUX things just 20 meters from my house .. just because ilug-cal .. WON'T .. not that it CAN'T .. just WON'T can we get some respect back in return .. 1. what ARE the so called long term plans that YOU indicated were under way 2. what is the group all about 3. what is the future of the web site YOU ensure answers to this .. or .. don't let your respect for other members go down .. be impartial .. and call a spade a spade.. please .. taking sides gets no one anywhere .. let's deliberate on : WHAT is wrong .. comment on that Russ .. we give you a lot of respect ! lets forget this : WHO is wrong .. 'owner' , 'host' , 'member' , 'volunteer' , etc ..pk -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
