If you must > criticize Linux, please do so specifically and constructively. I'd like to comment here. I agree somewhat. To the people who feel compelled to comment on my signature, I'd appreciate personal replies, that aren't cc'd to hundreds of people. If you'd rather comment to the whole list, please snip the excess cc's as I'm sure Jordan really doesn't need extra copies of this discussion. Either way, I'm not going to even pretend to have an impartial, unbiased opinion. However if one of my signatures offends you horribly I'd gladly change it. - alex
