Yeah. It isn't. :)

I would like to apologise to you Orly and the others who might have been
irritated or offended with my rhetorical questions and "provocations",
even misguided remarks. I was wrong and, thought it might not be a valid
excuse, I was having a bad day yesterday.

I would have wanted to reply to a couple of interesting points made
earlier in the thread, but I chose to instead clear the air and change
my mode. And I hope Mr. Andico and the whole list would accept my
sincerest apologies.

I admit, I'm new to this Linux thing -- compared to the people I've
already been reading about since I first got into the list (oh, a couple
years ago). And I have learned one thing too many from a lot of you, and
for that I am thankful.

I also like the idea of having a couple of beers on one of the
LinuxWorld Conference nights with the names I have yet to put a face to
on this list (as well as other lists).

I hope you all take this in good faith, and also that there be no hard
feelings. I meant no offense, and I took none anyway. :)
