I am a ubuntu user, and have just switched to uBuntu 9.04. I like it and 
have had lots of help from the users here.

If I see posts that I don't like I ignore them. I believe it is a wast 
of time to trash people on a thread that is supposed to be for helping 
people.

Any thread is bound to have off topic posts, but as far as I am 
concerned if a post concerns (?)UBUNTU this is a ubuntu forum. I would 
think that any question that helps some one to adjust to ubuntu is a 
technical question.

This is the last time I will reply to a post like this, but there have 
been many previous posts where people were calling each other names. I 
wish every one would grow up.

Stephen.
