I'm voicing the complaints of many subscribers who are not interested in
random discussion about Microsoft issues - please don't accuse me of
'throwing weight' or whatever. I've been harping on about keeping
[EMAIL PROTECTED] "pure" and using slug-chat for random, crazy stuff for
yonks now. :-)

The thing is, we have over 500 subscribers to the list who are interested in
*Linux* issues, help and technical discussion, not the politics of
proprietary software.

Linux advocacy is *not* Microsoft bashing, or talking about the latest ways
that Microsoft are abusing their monopoly and/or customer base. We have more
than enough work of our own to do - advocacy and development wise - without
getting caught up in their problems.

We can keep the snickering and ranting about proprietary software to
slug-chat, because it's a fun sideline there, and doesn't get in the way of
what the main SLUG list is here to achieve: promoting, helping with and
talking about Linux and Free Software.
