Your right, we shouldn't allow any related topics.

So, remember, no more discussion of:

* Microsoft
* computers that aren't running linux
* unixs that aren't linux 

etc...

Lets face it, in reality topics like this come up quite rarely and
ultimately, this thread has only got to the size it has because you had an
issue with it. Had you said nothing, it would have probably got only a
couple of replies.
