I've transfered his first message to the Board for action. Such a behavior can't be tolerated in our community.

Hi :) This is all pretty fantastic! Congrats to anyone involved. Please can we just drop all the threads that have an Urmas in them? Just ignore the obvious FUD and avoid engaging. If doing a migration with any kind of assessment of hardware requirements or with any advice from almost anyone familiar with OpenSource then it's highly likely that little or no new hardware needs to be bought except where hand-helds are seen as more useful than a desktop. Without guidance people might have ended up buying new kit but will soon find that new kit lasts forever. Staying with proprietary systems means fairly frequent hardware upgrades just in order to keep doing the same stuff. If people have upgraded to new hardware they will also begin to realise they can bring the old stuff back into use, or give to worthy causes such as those with charitable aims.
