Anything goes. You had no call to resort to >ad hominum attacks on the poster. So your answer is to resort to an ad hominum attack against me? Interesting. I didn't see my post as an "attack" against anyone. I simply stated my opinion of someone else's opinion. I think that certain types of "support" can do your cause more harm than good. And while I'm at it, I'll add that I think that Microsoft's OS and applications have a place in the computing landscape. Perhaps not for the users of this list, but I can understand why they have such a large portion of the market share, and I ain't mad at 'em for it. I don't think I've offended Purser, McKitrick, or anyone else who has been involved in this discussion, so I hope you'll understand if I'm not being very apologetic toward you, Hicks. --Chip Morton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
