I'm not going to comment point-by-point to Ryan Ware's
<rware at interplastic.com> post.  This is just a general response to his
post in context with focus of this list.  

Everyone is entitled to a rant now and then, even those that we don't
generally agree with.  Please, before anyone else hooks on to Ryan's
troll, for that is really all his post amounted to, realize that he
probably hasn't had enough caffeine for the day.  I, for one, am NOT
looking forward to the thread that Ryan is likely to generate, with
people once again comparing and arguing point-by-point over the wide
assumptions and broad-sweeping statements that Ryan has made.

It is fairly obvious to all here what Ryan's opinion is, Linux isn't
the solution for all problems.  The counterpoint will be, but neither
is Microsoft Exchange.  There are people successfully deploying Linux
in a wide diversity of commercial computing environments.  Let's agree
to disagree on this one.

Now, let's see if we can't provide a little more constructive advise
to our fellow Linux advocates on this Linux Users' Group email list...
