Agreed. We have the choice to respond with a machine or not and that is fair enough. :-) -David <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 10:02 AM, David L.

His "political clap-trap" is only visible if you follow the link. This is a simple request for a donation of hardware. The hardware will run Ubuntu. So, I think he's on-topic enough. And, a short description of the charity to which the donated machine would go seem like an important detail, which is appropriate to supply with the request. I'll join you in asking Ringo to "stand down" if he's ever off-topic or polluting this list with his "political clap-trap", but in this case, he's not doing that, so I'll ask you to stand down, instead, please.
