OMG, get over yourself.  Take it in the spirit it was offered and quit
being a jerk.  I thought that a big discount might be of interest (it
certainly was to me), I had nothing to gain from it and was trying to
save some fellow Linuxers a few bucks.  The intent of the original post
was to be helpful.

You self-appointed "list police" crack me up.  Man, it must be a really
sad life to lead if you have to make yourself feel better by flaming
someone for trying to do something nice.

Cheers,
