Please remove me from the list. I personally thought Stephen's
comment (actually an attack on the original poster) was infantile
and uncalled for, I'm surprised you feel it was adult.<br>
<br>
I have great respect for what Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical have
achieved in past years, bringing GNU/Linux to the attention of the
masses, although I have for several years been recommending Mint
and using Mint myself. Only my wife's laptop still runs Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
And, in passing, thanks to members of this group whose posts I
have read with interest over the past years. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

You may disagree with Stephen's comments, but I don't think they
were disrespectful or derogatory.<br>

there's no reason you can't type out
the name of the company. Not doing so
labels you as a fanboi and your
evident lack of respect closes a lot

So, when I write Microsh@t, (my usual way
of writing Microsoft,) does that make me a
fanboi too (whatever they are) ? <br>
<br>
And, your totally unjustified comment,
quoted above definitely '<i>closes my mind
to anything else you have to say.</i>'<br>
