I wanted to ignore this, but I am taking the bait...

Howard, I am amused by your wit almost as much as I am annoyed by your 
insistence on argument for its own sake.  (I have a tendency to enjoy 
the latter, too, but not on technical lists that provide me with so much 
help [were it not for this list, I could not have continued as an 
isolated Linux user.].  In short, you are not as dumb as you pretend to 
be with questions like the above.

Having read this list for a few years, I doubt anyone gives a flying 
f**k what your opinion is regarding Linux on the desktop.  Like me, they 
are just taking the bait on the little insults and irrelevant, but 
annoying, digs you keep throwing out.  In fact, it seems you are quite 
skilled at drawing out some ire from even the most reserved on the list, 
and you obviously enjoy it.  We read your posts like we gawk at an auto 
accident, like them or not.

My only question is, when you wear off, and people can consistently 
ignore your jabs, do you back off and start participating productively, 
or is this all you are?

Who are you Howard?  A decent consultant with a lot to offer?  Or a 
ringworm?
