This was the first paragraph which you so conveniently left out so you could
make a point. A point I must add that didn't work.
-------
Leaving all 'personal' opinions aside, if it's free/open source software, it
works, it's legal, and it's not installed by default, there shouldn't be a
problem.

The quote you did use doesn't even come under the heading of being political.
If you have a really good look I didn't even use the word 'religion' in any
of it's forms. Nor did I actually use the name of the program. My sole
intent was to make a point about how any software should be chosen and that
definitely does keep me on topic for this list, especially when you look at
the intent of the original posting when that program was mentioned.
Please be a little more judicious in your usage of my postings in future. I
would also like to take this opportunity to apologise to list members for any
inconvenience this posting may cause as that also is not my intent. You wil
hear no more from me on this topic, as I expect not to hear from you either.
