Hi! Trying to kill the keyboard, kf@wa.net produced:
Do you really think your that better than somebody just because of the f*****g ISP you choose?
No. But I am 'old' on the net, remembering the time before AOL had internet connection. "aol!" has become synonymous with 'Me too!'. (Posts consisting of 100+ lines of quoted text, with just a "Me too" tagged to the end). AOLlers stomped out on the net like hungry fireants, in force, too many without knowledge of the .netiquette, often behaving like an elephant in a chinese porcellain shop. They got their name. Nowadays AOL is tamer, especially when compared to other places and ISPs. Still, AOL has it's name. It's like coming from the bad part of town, with the difference that you *can* choose providers, but not always where you live. If someone gets messages from this list, they all have that little snippet at the end how to remove yourself off the list. Now, in true 'AOL'-Fashion, that person just replied, instead of reading the message bottom. Heck, it was only 21 lines of message, footer included ... so it was 'typical AOL'.
As somebody new to Linux I got to say that all off you who flood this mailing list with the "read the MAN,you moron",
Without 'you moron', if you please. What good is it to copy and paste the man pages, pray tell?
response do absolutely nothing to further the cause of a true alternate to the Microsoft juggernaut.
At least here you get the info you need. Try that next time with NT (and I know you use it) when you need to know something about a program.
I mean if you really feel that good about your self, well that's fine but keep it to yourself. Some of the posts on this list kind of remind me of grade school; you know how there is always that kid who's parents are smarter or richer or whatever?
BTW, tell your *browser* not to wrap your lines into alternating long and short snippets, that looks ugly and is harder to read than neccessary. As for the 'smarter or richer or whatever', I feel it's more useful to point people towards information (so that they may learn where to look for it) instead of predigesting it for them. It's like giving a hungry man a fish instead of a fishing net. Oh, you DID see the <RANTING> and </RANTING>, didn't you? If you did not, blame your browser. <!-- Darn browsers don't show everything! *grumble* --> -Wolfgang -- PGP 2 welcome: Mail me, subject "send PGP-key".
