Just *had* to have a chuckle at that last one.  Well done Mark :)

I have been a fairly quiet list reader for some time now and have seen the 
occasional post step over the line, generally non-intentionally but 
sometimes intentionally :(  Generally the individual is suitably told to 
behave and we all carry on.

Every now and then one individual will take the "morally high ground" and 
lets his (humble?) opinion be heard by all.  What generally follows is this 
one individual becoming the butt of jokes for one and all.  How many times 
have I seen it happen now?
Bret - you are probably a really nice guy and have the best intentions, but 
while this can be a serious and educational forum, we all know that linux 
is fun :)  Comment all you like, but take the "high ground" and be prepared 
to cop the flak.

The original post (IMHO) was totally computer/linux related.  The 
'offensive' postings followed afterwards .... (IMHO).


regards,
   Nathan
