I remember the exact discussion the last time someone announced a lLnux
evernt with a word attachment.
Actually, what I was really thinking is, what a weird word document it
was, at that. It had no formatting that required it to be an
attachment rather than plain text in the body of the email itself, and
even weirder, it had double hard returns on the end of each line to
simulate typewriter style double spacing (like it was prepared by
someone who didn't know about the basic word wrap and paragraph
formatting of word processing software).
The event and the organization sponsoring it seems to have a lot more
than Linux on the agenda, so the MS-ness didn't bother me, it was just
a really intrinsically weird attachment to use to announce anything.
