And, how useful do you think all of this rubbish has been, in promoting 
Linux and PLUG, and open source?

As I said in my previous posting, this list is shooting itself in its 
foot, and what has been going on on the list, is denigrating to PLUG and 
to the Linux community.

Are you saying that what has been going on on the list, with the 
recent bickering, is conducive to promoting Linux and PLUG and open 
source?
