You know, I've forwarded this kind of thing exactly once - today. Have
no fear, I won't do it again. Not because I really care about whether
you object, but because in general it irks me that in trying to be
helpful someone always has to bitch. It just drives home what I said
earlier - "no good deed goes unpunished."

Calling me a spammer (I fight spam professionally - them's fighting
words, partner) was as you put it, "_highly_ uncool."

Exactly - and I tried to put something up that would be helpful to my
"friends."

You first.

But it was intended to help Fedora *users* - you just couldn't take it
in the spirit in which it was offered. You made a public case about it,
not me. Now you're upset because you got thumped on for being a whiny-
baby. Breathe through the pain, buddy.
