Troy,
I agree that flame wars are pointless and will not waste my time either
starting them or participating. However, I will continue to call things
as I see it and will continue to spread the word of FOSS to those that
are caught in Microsoft's clutches. There is absolutley no reason that I
can support which suggests that educational institutions should not be
running on 100% F/OSS.
I can see that you have lost sight of the bigger issue here when I read
your comments regarding Brian. For all I know, he may be the sweetest
man on the planet and may have respectable motives but at the end of the
day, his efforts reward Microsoft whose goals are CERTAINLY not inline
with those of a school. From your comments, I have no choice but to see
you as one of the persons who have been manipulated by Microsoft's
decision to inject Brian onto the list and have no doubt that you'll
take offense when I call you on this. For that, I am sorry. However, I
will continue to monitor the list and help where I can. This help may
even come from calling Brian on a thing or two where appropriate.
Your welcome,
Adam Kosmin
