Oh, I don't know. You could be a lawyer who fights cases for the free software community pro bono, but still not use, want to use or know how to use Linux or *BSD. Does that make you less of a contributor to the free software community? IMO it's not a good idea to judge people's ideals by what technology they use, in general.

RE: [ilugd] Office Depot Aids Monopoly{This is not a troll}
Spoonman, I admire your passion and spirit for linux. however, nothing will be achieved by trolling the list and ridiculing me (and others) publicly . Let us end it here and talk sometime offline (say in the next ILUGD meeting). That might be more educational for both of us. With Warm Regards Tarun Upadhyay P.S. meanwhile you keep using mutt and I will keep using outlook.
