This is not a M$ list, but a list for Linux users with their questions /
solutions. All questions regarding other OS'ses, or off-topic subjects
should NOT be posted to this list. That's it, no discussion possible.

You don't say in a list 'go fuck yourself' If you're where on one of the
list I was managing or on of the newsgroups I put you on the blasklist.

You also say that to your customers, 'go fuck off' ?? Don't think so. This
is a community, and you keep your language the right way. If you want to say
'fuck you', do it in private, or go visit a hooker if you want to fuck
somebody.

Most of this list are Linux users. Some need Windows because some apps are
not available in a Linux version.

I don't give a f**k about M$. Bad marketing, lauzy helpdesk, bad products
and not willing to solve bugs.

Well, if you use bad language or misbehave (and misbehaving is using a list
for the wrong topic), you could have yourself put on a blacklist.

Don't even try it..... Bad idea. Could get your ase sued.

Just behave, and leave away the bad language. There is a Netiquette, and
anyone is suppose to read / know it.
