It's not that most don't appreciate a defense of "the almighty." It's just that such a defense is not needed. "HE" is "perfect" and can do no "wrong" (given that this is an open source project that nobody has to particpate in it). Nobody will dispute your position, as an opinion maker . . . but, as you may have noticed, through the years, that making such opinions open to this list only adds to the sarcasm/hatred. I've defenitely made myself vulnerable to such abuse (this is probably a case in point). In the end, the use of "dude" does not make the comment less sophistocated, but disapproval of such a comment only admits the lack of sophistocation on the part of s/he who took offense. Peace and may "GOD" bless America (oh . . and OpenBSD).
