Australian English. Find a word that sounds similar, and makes better
sense. Not a proper rhyme in this case though.

But I got the gist...
I find it interesting that you don't run RHEL, yet you are one of the
highest volume posters on this list. If you look back at the number of
threads which you have started (low) compared to the number of threads
to which you have replied (high) over the few years I've been a list
member, it is obvious that you personally are of net benefit to the RHEL
community.
Thanks for your comments. Not all of my contributions are technically
useful (this one for example), but I do try to maintain the good humour
of the list too, and sometimes challenge people, especially those of the
nation that thinks it rules the world:-)
I take that as proof, were it needed, that users of RHEL-rebuilds *do*
give back to the RHEL community in a measurable way. I tend to agree
that this list might not be the best place to ask "how do I *not* use
RHEL", but in the end CentOS, SL, WBEL etc. users are at least staying
in the Red Hat community - a "how do I install SuSE" or "this Ubuntu
stuff looks great" message would be much much more off-topic.
I'd quibble one point; evidence, not proof.
One of the points the CentOS folk emphasise is that their repos are
compatible with RHEL, and that if one needs to extend RHEL in some way
(for example, RH discards some packages that build from the src.rpms),
it's just a matter of adding the appropriate CentOS repo, there is one
just for these.
Some (at least one) of the CentOS developers hangs out on one or more
RHEL lists, and contributes sometimes.
