[LinuxUsers] Impress vs. presentation

>Heh, you guys...I was just offering advice, not aware that it's a mandatory thing for Hotmail slaves to have ads in their signatures. I'm just spoiled by >Gmail :) and in return I use next to nothing of my storage space!

yeah I'm gonna get a gmail account.



>I hate seeing you guys poking fun at people, I always feel like Linux should be a shelter for anyone who wants it (it's just a shot away) and that (even >good-natured) ribbing should be kept to a minimum. I guess it's not the most fun opinion to have, but it's the best one for the community at large.



LOL Yeah, these guys will rib you until you can take it no more: put you down, trash you, chew you up and spit you out, and make sure that you know you're stupid, but I don't mind, I've been abused all my life. I'm used to it. Did you not see the way they dogged Jeff Lassman over the last week because he didn't know how to put kalarm on his ubuntu gnome?

But then again, he may have never solved his problem if they dadn't bitched him out. Oh, and it is very important how you use words on this list, because if you say anything that is racist or sexist you will be in deep s#*t. Therefore, I must include my disclaimer: bitch in no way refers to any femal human. It is strictly referring to the males who bitched Jeff out last week. They are the bitches! There were no females involved in that bitchfest.

Mark,



We have been politely jabbing at Paul and his hotmail account for some

time. He is well aware that some of us on the list are offended by it.

As well I don't believe he has any control on what is inserted to the

end of his mail or whether it is inserted or not (which is typical MS

to me).



In any case if that's the mail system he chooses to use that's the one

he is going to use. While we would prefer he didn't its better for us

to take the higher ground and not dictate which service he uses.

Somewhere in the open source guide there is a statement about

tolerance.



That being said I'm still going to make playful comments on his

signature advertisements any chance i get.
