That is one of the funniest Trolls and flame wars Ive seen in quite some time (since I left Debian-User@ last year anyway...) - the guy that started it must be a professional troll to be that opinionated just to wind people up... /me places money on it being Tux posting under a pseudonym... :o) M. -- Matthew Macdonald-Wallace matt...@truthisfreedom.org.uk http://www.truthisfreedom.org.uk/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

There are some blinded, narrow minded Windows users out there, but we keep seeing that exactly the same is true of some linux users. Also, far from being blind to reality, his first post seems to be an accurate parody of linux in places. The best parodies are the ones that stay closest to the truth.
