Nobody made a personal attack.  "What a dumb idea, you suck, go back
to using Debian" would have been a flame.  I'll cop to having plenty
of whatnot.

I think my posts are of reasonable quality.  I try to pay attention to
spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc.

Screeds aren't my style.  I think I made my point as succintly as
possible.  Are you uncertain of my position on the subject?

> the subject or even how stupid a subject is. It's a respect thing.

Nobody has cracked wise about anybody's momma.

On the other hand, I didn't receive any answers to the questions I
posed, just critiques of my literary style.  I would have been happy to
get replies in satire, haiku, ASCII art, whatever got the idea across.
Can't we have fun discussing a fun distro?

> Anyway that's my 2 cents.

I appreciate your responses, but maybe you could work in a booger joke
next time.
