Hi Ken, I apologize if you took this the wrong way - what I said in my original email was that I was not a member of SLUG, and therefore if you expected a response from me you'd need to email me directly. By no means did I mean "do not expect a response from me"...only that you would need to use Reply-All otherwise I wouldn't get it. > I am responding to ensure that Open Source as a whole is represented in > a positive light. Imagine if I posted a tirade about how bad the other > open source projects that provide the same facilities as > OpenOffice.org. I do not declare it the best for every instance, > gnumeric possibly is the better spreadsheet for simpler sheets for > example. Again, I didn't mean my email to be negative...if it was taken that way, then either I wrote it wrong or it was read wrong... it was intended as a [good spirited] rebuttal to the previous, more malicious message that started this thread - which I feel was more guilty of negativity than my own reply was. Completely void of any real facts and designed as more of a poke than a real informative message. I hope I provided enough information to balance the original thread out, but being nasty was not my intention. > If you genuinely want to convert people then subscribe for a while and offer > assistance to help others to install dspam. I actually wasn't originally looking to convert anyone, just rebut an email...but I am more than glad to help anybody who is looking to use DSPAM, as are the many other members of the dspam-users mailing list. Please feel free to email me directly or email the dspam-users list and I'll be glad to help out. For obvious reasons, I can't be a member of every open-source mailing list out there, but I do appreciate the invitation.
