RE: Ignorant Matt Pratt

Posted by Adam Debus on 1999-04-06

While I have learned quite a bit off of this list, this is the 8th
linux/windows war in 2 years. Frankly my blood pressure is high enough
without having to put up with this shit every 2 months. So I am going to
leave the list for a time. And just to mention it, I am sure I am not the
only one who gets turned off this list because of this. So i will stop back
in at a later date, or somebody e-mail me when this crap finally stops.

Thanks,

ADam,
    He who is really peeved.
