Sorry, I meant to address this as well:
Don't get caught in the approval/disapproval trap.
My preferences and opinions have nothing to do with personal stuff.
I read everyone's posts, regardless of whether or not I agree with 
them on anything, and have no enemies, because I'm not interested 
in that sort of thing.

There are occasionally people who dislike me, and that's fine.
I don't like everybody either.
But generally speaking, what others think is none of my business 
until they try to convince me I should also think that way.
Then it seems appropriate to address it.

You know, Linus uses gnome last I heard.
So I'm well aware that my personal preferences have nothing to do 
with whether or not I am proficient or knowledgeable.
Maybe I'm pushing peoples' buttons by sounding like some inflexible, 
judgemental old fart you met before. If so, sorry! I'm more of a 
"live and let live", yet strongly opinionated old fart. :)
