Why not plain text or rtf? By saying .emacs or .vim
you are again doing the same evil.

By refusing to share your software which helps people
of different platforms to communicate, you are doing
just that - cutting off large part of YOUR audience -
the M$ world. If you keep to your own world, you will
start gaining the frog-in-a-well mindset, which I
suspect some of you folks have already started
gaining. ;-)

That unfortunately is one of the major reasons we are
here. I disagree with helping commercial COMPANIES.
But commercial guys?? Most of the time it's some poor
folk from these companies whose a** is on the line.
Pankaj, one day even you will be working. Won't that
make you a commercial guy then??

Are you trying to build a Gnu/Linux-only world?? I
would rather not.
I would rather people using Linux coz' it's definitly
better, than bamboozle their conscience into using
one.
