You managed to pull the lower paragraph entirely out of context. Your lack of integrity is appalling. The people on this mailing list feel many different ways about the OS-debate. Nothing of that enters into my opinion of your "advocacy", nor do I imagine it influences many others here. What decides me against you is your refusal to put forth evidence to back up your slanderous claims. Your kind of "advocacy" is something we can do without. -samThread Previous | Thread Next
