Well here is another one. This kind of crap has no place on a linux list.
Like a lot of people I make a lot of money supporting both windoze and linux
but I do not need the constant flood of off topic posts to keep me up to date
about stupid windoze viruses. I have other much better and more reliable ways
to find out about such things when I am interested.

It IS OFF TOPIC for this or any other linux related list. Why do you feel
it is correct to to post something like this here. Didn't you read the message
you got when you subscribed to this list about what this list was for? What
part of that don't you understand??

The point you seem to be missing is that THIS IS A LIST FOR THE DISCUSSION OF
FEDORA. NOT WINDOZE!!

Don't try to defend what you did. There is no defense. You were wrong and
actually for that matter so am I for even responding. As a result this is my
1 and only post on the subject. I did it just so you know that Simon Jones
is not the only one who hates off topic posts. Especially Ot posts about
windoze!!
