I think Mike is way out of line here. Debian should have never gotten into the baby business in the first place. If you think naming a distribution is a headache, try naming a baby! Its especially difficult in cross-cultural marriages (like mine). My wife is pregnant (again) and this time its my turn to come up with a name. Seriously though. It amazes me how people emmigrate to the US, improve their quality of life 1000 fold, only to spout off BS like this guy. I think we should bounce Mike off the list -- this mister "user-vote-boy". If you're so "pleased" then why don't you take your show on the road? Huh, Mike? As a matter of fact, do you even have any children of your own? Who the heck are you to give us comments like the above, based soley on you own "pleasantness"? I love my country (America) and definitely believe in freedom of speach, advertising, commercialism, capitolism, copyrights, patents, and all of the things that make America great. But I draw the line here. I think we should: 1) Get off Bruce's back -- I certainly don't always agree with him (or any one person), but having a baby will provide him and Valerie with a hell of a tax break. 2) Inform Dave that "anarchy" went out with "Punk Rock" in the 80's (and was only then popular with European teens.) 3) Buy a CD from Paul, who (like too many of my _real_ countrymen), thinks Debian (or someone) owes him a living. 4) Make more babies -- its a lot more fun than downloading megabytes of nonsense from unnamed idividuals (Mike) about things that do nothing bad, and have the potential to do enourmous good (like having babies, getting tax write offs, etc.) In the future, Mike "user-vote" Hill, try to keep the language civil, lest I get all riled up and give you a serious taunting! ;-) Sheesh! -- "Until we extend the circle of our compassion to all living things, we will not ourselves find peace" -Albert Schweitzer Richard G.
