Changing a server from UNIX to NT was part of his job. >Should he have resigned in protest ? IMAO? Probably. I would have. I have, in fact. This list isn't here to discuss the benefits of UNIX over NT, but just ask anyone who's done it - they all regret it. I don't know anyone thats happy over it. I'm only posting this message to urge people never to do it ever ever ever. Ever. >IMHO, the Listmom should seriously consider a new advisory regarding these >controversial sigs.

I know I'm not the listmom or owner of this >or any other list. Sorry for going/being off topic myself. I will be seriously irritated if such a ban occurs. This list is based in the USA and is bound by the laws thereof. Yes, it is a private "club", but I will fight for my first amendment rights to wear whatever tee-shirt (figuratively) I darn well want. I try not to offend with my sigs, but to me its the same as deciding how to wear my hair or what shirt I wear. This isn't a professional workplace, we don't have to look good in front of clients. If someone wants a sig with nothing but the "seven deadlies" I would consider them immature, but I feel it should be their right to do so.
