1. You admit that you market Linux through "word of mouth."
2. You admit that you market with a bias.
3. You admit that you do get at least one benefit from the marketing.

1. If you didn't care, you would not have responded.

<?php
if($GeoffreyResponds=='yes' && $GeoffreyDefendsHimself=='true' && $GeoffreyClaimsCarelessness=='true')
	{

P.S. Extra Worthless Dribble:
+I think you misunderstood the fundamental ideas of my post. 
+At some points I used sarcasm, yet you responded as though I didn't.
+I was exaggerating when I used the noun "idiot."
+I did not mean to say that you market yourself as a "know it all."
+I did not call you a lier, and did not mean to imply that you are one.
+I did not want to anger you (troll), I don't benefit from trolling *you.*
+It seems that you are saying that just because you don't receive a monentary 
benefit, you are on a moral high ground? (This is the part I don't understand and 
it's why I keep asking you and Aaron for a philosophical "label" and some URLs 
so I can learn more. Send 'em offlist. You guys obviously have theories that come 
from something conceptually "bigger," but I don't know what it is - and I would like
to understand the attitude more).
