Re: [newbie] Windows v Linux/ HTML v text

[David D.Stanton (Armisis Aieoln)]

html v text is just easly that with linux you have so many diffrent email
readers, and some cannot handle html... so it just shows as pure html text not 
properly translated html.  

As for the windows v linux thing its just a team to cheer for... like a
football team or democracy vs communism, just rivals, it gives motivation 
to causes... people get all excited for their team be it a sports team or
political or even software.  

As for helping others with linux... I am a pure linux user, and only deal with
a little windoez NT at work along with other operating systems not just Linux.  
I love helping in the newbie group because others helped me years ago when I
was just starting with Linux.  

Personaly I just delete the emails which I cannot help with or has nothing to
do with a need for help.
