People who contribute nothing but proclaim an investment and bemoan that Linux doesn't do ... Probably not but it just strikes me that way. Of course a blog is exactly the right forum for those kinds of broad based, opinion diatribes while the list is exactly the wrong place but one thing that seems to be consistent between people like Karl and Marcel (and his previous identity, gilpel@xxxxxxxxxx) is their inability to discern that their behavior had all the reverse effects of their intentions... that instead of getting more attention, they simply got added to many people's kill lists and were ignored by more and more people with each clueless posting.
