Re: [cobalt-users] rant not, just loosen up

Ahoy

Now, here's a guy who takes it all in good spirit, see. He does not get the
prickly heat. He just jabs back in good humor. Jim roolz.

It ain't the geek I take exception to. I am a geek-aspirant myself. It's the
pricklies. If you could loosen up, guys, you could see that this is not a
test of purity. A person can see the advantage of stationery, and not be a
MS clone. The same person could see the advantage of UNIX for servers, and
not think that Deep Pockets Bill should be shut down. That way, you can have
the best of both worlds.

The world ain't black or white. It's speckled.
