| However, I don't think the "My way or the Highway" approach is helpful
| to anyone and does sort of highlight the dichotimy (spelling?) of the
| linux user base
<...>
| However there are also a number of linux/geek zealot who (IMO) resist
| any change whatsoever, abhore any form of user friendliness and take
| comment (not even cricism badly) offering the "this is the way it works
| and if you don't like you can just f*ck off" attitude.
<...>
| Clearly there are always going to be desenters and nay-sayers in any
| group, but couldn't we just a sensible discussion without resorting to
| childish attitudes. No one is personally attacking anyone's views or
| beliefs, we're just talking about the possibility of better ways of
| communicating with each other.

*deep sigh* Thank you! You can't argue against a vote (unless you're in
America) :)
