No, just fed up with those who insist on imposing such nonsense on others. Right now, we've got a federal election coming up in Canada. <snip> It IS FACT that the bible and all of it's content is nothing more that myth and hearsay and that goes for ALL Religeons ..
Actually, the Bible is as much history as anything. Though one has to keep in mind that many of the books in the old testament were written only after hundreds of years after the original stories were orally communicated from one clan to another. Many of the stories are based on fact and have been verified as at least having a kernel of truth prior to their embelleshment over time. That said, one needs to keep in mind that the opinion of a person - whether placed in a signature or not - is simply that: an opinion. One of the issues I find these days is that people tend to extend the concept of religion - an outward expression of faith - into the computer world. I'm seeing this not only with the Windows vs. Linux zealots but also with the SUSE vs. Gentoo vs. Red Hat vs. <insert distro here> and even with the KDE vs. Gnome vs. Window Managers vs. CLI camps. I would hope that all can take in each other's opinion and understand that everyone is entitled to one. Now, back to our regularly scheduled discussion. Anyone drink any new beers lately? Oh, and how do I get KMail to auto-accept HTML emails? Though I despise them, some of my newsletters insist on sending in that format and I hate having to constantly click on two links to get the mail to display the way I want it. -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
