IMHO it's this kind of rediculous attitude from Linux users that will stop Linux ever succeeding in the 'real world'/desktop environment.
Everyone isn't out to get you and most people couldn't give a fig about your emails. The rising paranoia of Linux users never fails to amuse me and is the reason that I am starting to lose faith in Linux as an O/S. I have been an avid Linux user until recent times when the utter paranoia/tin-foil hat/flag waving/tree hugging attitude of Linux users has really started to annoy me. Sometimes I wonder if I am hearing about Linux or have been inadvertanty dragged into an Amway meeting!
