I agree. you can "troll" all you want, but it's not helping anyone. Bash 
someone on a windows list if this is your fancy. I ask for help here, and 
I ALWAYS get it!! Great group of people here to help you when you need it. 
All they ask for in return is respect and for you to help others if you 
can. Fedora Core does NOT suck!!!

Long live the CORE!!!
