("too"? Not sure if you realize it, Jerry, but you did CC it to the
list).

This blatant discourtesy, along with your clear gift for exaggeration
and accusation rather than a willingness to reason or discourse civilly,
has earned you a hallowed spot in my plonkfile, along with the rest of
this thread, which seems not to have said anything new of import for
quite some time now.

The manner of your responses thus far, especially the more recent ones,
betray you.
You have raised some significant issues, and I will concede that some of
the responses on this thread may have not been entirely fair, but
whatever you may have had on your side has been drained by your
eagerness to presume that nobody is taking anything you say seriously,
despite good evidence to the contrary, and your self-righteous
insistence in claiming that the Ubuntu philosophy is nothing more than
façade and wishful hype.

Because sarcastic remarks and self-important mockery are a higher ground
than anger? Sorry, I seem to have missed your point. :(
