Thank you Rob
Wasn't my intention to become uncivil
I just come across (unintentionally) a little hard sometime
(I don't know if it is because my real job is a prison guard or I am
German : -)
Likewise, it was a knee jerk reaction from me, as it is a pet peeve
People, "average users", are not going to change to ubergeeks to use Linux
If we want Linux to get out of the lower single percent usage catagory
(and I do)
Linux (and it's "supporters") are going to have to change, they will not
Thus my interest in Gambas, a programming language for the common man
This is probably not the right place for this discussion anyway, sorry
You know, I notice, it is very hard to not to use slang >:-|
