but, flame wars do occur in this very filipino mailing list too. i cannot really remember the latest one but i know that there are distro wars, text editor wars, package manager wars, OS wars and etc... however, i feel that intellegent discussion is always a welcomed stimulant to this sometime very monotonous mailing list. the PLUG mailing list sometimes gets boring. > I like your answer: try and compare for yourself.
