Wrong on all counts; I don't need to defend myself whenever someone  
gets a hissy fit. Suffice it to say this is *not* just a technical  
list.  (Mr. Moen even *affirmed* this point in a recent, previous  
thread.) That just happens to be the majority interest. *And* throwing  
in the occasional non-technical post is one way to invite those  
curious about Unix/Linux/OSS and/or considering switching from Windows  
to Linux.

Check out the  home page, says so right at the top. In fact, it was  
written by yours truly. If present members care to change that  
declaration, they are free to do so...and if you were correct re.  
technical talk only, it would've been edited quite a few years ago.

Yes, and obviously it's all my fault. Thanks for the hilarious rant.

> Be well all.

Me too? Oh please please please don't leave me out.
