[ale] as promised/threatened, an overly long post with probably nothing of real importance

[Damon Chesser]

IMHO he made a good point Jim.  You can’t  have it both ways.  I love Linux, I use Linux, I make my living with Linux.  Just because you lean one way or the other (as do I, as does Aaron) does not mean you can scream such silly labels as illustrated below, then seem outraged at “vitriolic” responses.

If you want intelligent discussions, you can’t paint with an insulting broad brush.  If you resort to name calling and judgmental tones, then YOU are the problem.   If you refrain but participate: then you become a member exchanging different views from opposing world views.

Adding a Smiley at the end does not disarm the insinuated foul attitude.
I had hoped we could longer than 24 hours.
I'm very disappointed by this.
