Well it's flamebait at the very least. I mean, cmon, linux folks aren't exactly renound for their love of all things microsoft. I think it's fair to say that posting a message like the one below to a linux mailing list could at least be considered "inflamatry", and there is a good chance the poster would know this. Or at least should know this. Cmon, he put "wordpad.exe for W982E" in the subject line ffs. If he'd said something like "OT: windows problem" then I'd have been more inclined to believe he was genuine. Of course he may well be, and just in need of a good clue-by-four'ing ;-)
I say we send him a copy of emacs and force him to use that ;-) It is after all the editor of satan.... (see, I can be inflamatry too :-) Cheers, Gareth On Monday 28 July 2003 23:08, John Ascroft wrote: > Isn't that a bit precious.
