As a matter of fact I see a fair bit of that on this list as well, by the
same group of regulars: stereotypical judgement and blaming of OUTSIDERS,
i.e. ignorant 'lusers' who don't know or care how their computers
work, the
intricacies of TCP/IP or their operating system, who top post, use M$
software, etc. etc., and are perhaps busy running businesses, performing
brain operations, whatever, instead...
I do bash:
Apple fanboys: the products they worship are overpriced sh*t
MS windows fanboys: think there stuff is the best thing since sliced bread
I have be a member of both groups,
I have seen the light (and no I am not a linux/ubuntu fanboy[1])
I am a quad-platform user (ubuntu/linux/android, amigaOS, MS DOS[2], Windows)
PS: why cant you scroll down to the bottom of the message and type there?
[1] I do have some ubuntu fanboy aspects to me, but its only to sate there is alternative
operating system that dose not cost an arm and a leg
[2] soon to include CP/M

Lots of
folks like you also believe that there are REASONS why people
have
the opinions they do about Jews, Mexicans, Muslims, people with black
skins
or blond hair, etc. etc...
Precious irony... ;-)
That was totally uncalled for. Dave was describing a sterotype about a
group OF WHICH HE IS A MEMBER, you are comparing him to racists who blame
all the worlds problems on a group of OUTSIDERS. This is completely
different. I think you need to apologise.
