worker201:
Somebody here at Microsuck has this signature:
--- Quote --- WE ARE THE GNU! LOWER YOUR COSTS AND OPEN YOUR SOURCE. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.
--- End quote ---
Personally, I don't think this is how GNU feels. And as an open-source proponent, it is certainly not how I feel. There may be a couple people out there who talk shit with no reason. But that is no reason to dump on the GNU. GNU is a loosely aligned group of people who write good software. As far as I know, they only thing they have ever done as a group is set up an ftp mirror.
Comments?
Lead Head:
Skyman?

The person who has that sig isn't important. The post was about whether or not the GNU is as bad as the sig implies. It seems to me that Microsoft is more akin to the borg than open source software and ideals. If you don't like the direction a certain software package is heading, you can take it and do whatever you want with it, on your own terms. I see no assimilating going on there.

The signature skyman has is for 'trol material only' apperantly you have been sucked into the trap worker201. DFTEC which means 'don't feed the energy creature'
just don't reply to troll things which is what skyman wants. The only way to avoid being a troll hunter is to not respond to troll posts (like kintaro's here

which we have done a good job at not replying)

Hey, I uh, don't think worker201 is actually trying to talk about skyman...
