It looks to me like this should be a personal conversation. It has "zero information content" that's useful to anybody but the two parties involved. ----- Original message ----- From: "Troy.A Johnson" <troy.johnson at health.state.mn.us> To: "Mike Miller" <mbmiller at taxa.epi.umn.edu> Cc: "TCLUG" <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2006 15:24:37 -0500 Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Newbie; Looking for a Linux Instructor >>> Mike Miller <mbmiller at taxa.epi.umn.edu> 08/16/06 2:55 PM >>> >It's hard for me to see how you got "slobbering RMS fanboy" from what I >wrote, but you obviously are a hothead and prone to exaggeration.

Oh, thank you. >I will reply politely. >Maybe I'll even agree with you. Maybe I'll learn something from you. Not today.
