Well, I will certainly give your posts greater consideration than "Gnu Man" if for no other reason than: 1) There is a real name on the message, and not a pseudonym (though Thunderbear isn't the type to completely disregard a message based solely on the basis of anonymity or the use of a pseudonym). 2) I have met on a number of occasions the guy by the name of Mike Johnson who shows up at a lot of TriLUG events, and I've found him to be a well grounded geek who's opinions are usually based on real world experience and not necessarily just perusing Slashdot to sound geek chic. 3) The message I am replying to has a GPG signature on it. The GPG signature belongs to a key that has been authenticated by a number of people that I trust to varying degrees. I have been given great assurances through the use of this signature that the Mike Johnson that I've met in person on a number of occasions through the years is putting his community reputation out there when he makes a statement using his real name and well-authenticated GPG key. After all that I might still think you're full of merde but you had the cajones to assert your true identity with your opinion and that deserves more respect and consideration than someone that I've never met who storms in here with a pseudonym making grand claims from a safe distance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3rc2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/MHnMYPuF4Zq9lvYRArT8AKDEh4PzjIn1ZbcXo2RLka2T0GUiMQCgthXD B57R9MGGJK8TvNZ6qTLbWnM= =Oj7h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
