Well,I never expected those users to close their accounts and stop trading shares to switch to FOSS.I agree with you that as techies,we have to provide the golden mean,but the point is based on a notion that I(or we,in case you are generalising) expected them to give up their accounts and trading so that they could switch to FOSS(mistaken notion,I might add) Regards, Easwar Registered Linux user #442065 -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
