Hello Robert -

It _was_ LinDOWS after all. It's being 'the other windows' was
their sales pitch to the public.

RF> The distros are quite individual, and your inference is

You have a habit of adding little 'zingers' in your replies are
you aware of that? I can assure you I am not naive.

What you refer to as 'useless speculation' I view as
conversation. You have next to nothing to say unless I post
something first then you drop your sarcastic replies into an
echo for your own amusement. 

Very little that you've posted in reply to my post adds
anything but your OPINION of me and I consider that of
questionable value after other similar exchanges I have had
with you in the past. 

Notice I didn't call you assinine, arrogant, annoying or any of
the other things I _might_ have said about you. Try to keep the
focus on linux and don't try to evaluate ME next time.
