First of all,I am making a point of needless crap. Second of all I have been
using Linux and windows for approx 7 years . Its too bad that a few Linux
people think they are above other people. If you think that what I have said
earlier is RUDE you have seen nothing. As a retired Soldier then becoming a
paramedic I have seen much more pressing things than how a person posts I Love
using Linux and always will use it and belong to a LUG who as also a few people
who think they are better than anyone else . I believe in helping anybody no
matter what and have so on a huge scale. A lot of times a new person to Linux
is turned off of it by snobs and people who are more concerned about how an
email is replied to then help making the Linux experience a good one to
hopefully pass on to others.
