[LinuxUsers] More Wave Invites

[Chris Penn]

Rog,

As I am sure you know, your point holds no significance to the "evil"
often spoken of with respect to M$ on or off this list.  NO ONE has a
problem with the charity M$ provides to the world.  Much of the
charity revolving around M$ has less to with them and more to do with
the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  Warren Buffet donated the
largest contribution ever given by a single person, 30.7 billion, to
this foundation; a point equally as irrelevant to the "evil"
perpetrated by M$.  We all know the specific issues directly
associated M$ antics, no need to repeat them here.

Chris...
