Hey List,
   Why is everybody so anti Microsoft or anti proprietary software. They have worked hard to where they are today and if people appreciate it, I do not think anyone should be feeling bad about it. We are linux guys and we know that we are better than them and gradually with all our might we are cruising our way in the market and driving away all these proprietary software shmuks.

So why bother .. just do your work. If its good it'll come through all the tests.

Sorry everybody .. I couldn't just resist writing this and I know this is gonna raise another flame war.

Howdy,

I try to be helpful and polite when posting to this list.  I consider it 
rude to send mail to a Linux list from a machine running Outlook.

I have sworn off non-free software and have found ways to make just 
about everything I need to get done with Linux.

Sitting in front of a networked NT machine at work is cruel abuse and 
should rank with a civil rights violation.  Sometimes I must log in and 
perform a few small Linux miracles just to shake it off upon arriving home.

My Outlook settings on that miserable NT machine allow me to send only 
plain text to everyone.

Hope that doesn't sound rude or unfriendly,

keVIn
