Good news

LOL, let's not get emotional. It's called reading people's posts, and
listening to their opinion, and then making logical assumtions.

TEST:
Section A:
True or False:

1) Most of the people who help out in a Windows newsgroup, like a different
OS more.
2) Most people who need help with novice and amature tasks, would want to
use a more complicated OS.

EDIT: Ok, some Linux distros aren't that complicated, so lets change
question 2 to:

2) Most people who need help with novice and amature tasks, would want to
use a unfamiliar OS.

If you have any suggestions, I'm open to hearing them. I have an idea
for educating people, lets suggest to the that they should not behave in
usenet like MPT does!

hi hermes, where you been man, haven't seen you around.

yeah, i thought about clearing the cookie cache or tracking down THE
offending cookie, but i was too lazy. i might do that now though, so i can
re-read the article without signing-up. you know the article was 4 pages
long, right... it wasn't immediately apparent if you weren't paying
attention.

ciao man

Well, I'm always kinda busy, especially in the summer. 2 jobs, a
family, travel, ren faires, home improvement (we are ripping out and
replacing the only shower in the house right now, ugh!), family
visiting, etc. I am usually in the newsgroups once a day though. I
don't know if you have checked out my protectfreedom website lately but
I have made many additions and improvements in the last couple days. As
busy as I get, lurking in usenet is one of my favorite hobbies so it
always draws me back sooner or later, lol. Yes, I read the entire
article because it was a great read. Glad some of you enjoyed it too.
And in case anyone is wondering, I am not a man, I am a woman, lol.

The telling statement:

Hating Micros~1 is a completely irrational reason for anything and is
indicative of a deep-seated psychological pathology that should be brought
to the attention of mental health professionals.

If my Micros~1 stock goes down because of this review, I'm not going to be
happy.

Oh no, Another of the brainwashed Microherd makes their self apparent.
