I never said there ISN'T, but it means that not EVERY kid in the block can.

Also, let me stress *again* that my examples were _not_ about Microsoft.

There is more to the world about Microsoft, if you claim to "hate" it so 
much, for whatever reasons you may have, stop talking about it all the 
time. Use software that you like, whatever that may be, and leave the 
rest of the world alone.

This just comes to prove the point I emailed against earlier this week.

There can be no serious discussion on this mailing list without extra 
chatter, trolls and flames.

I am actually all for open-source, but at least I do not blind myself to 
the world.
