[snip] No angry thoughts here: <smile> I guess what I was trying to say is * it suits me (MS-Novell) * That this kind of talk is anti everything we stand for. The content is FUD (polite description of the article) but the talk is evil (and there aint no smoke without fire, and zealots exist everywhere). Talking-like-this is a disturbing trend :-) James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
