Sorry, I meant to address this as well: Don't get caught in the approval/disapproval trap. My preferences and opinions have nothing to do with personal stuff. I read everyone's posts, regardless of whether or not I agree with them on anything, and have no enemies, because I'm not interested in that sort of thing. There are occasionally people who dislike me, and that's fine. I don't like everybody either. But generally speaking, what others think is none of my business until they try to convince me I should also think that way. Then it seems appropriate to address it. You know, Linus uses gnome last I heard. So I'm well aware that my personal preferences have nothing to do with whether or not I am proficient or knowledgeable. Maybe I'm pushing peoples' buttons by sounding like some inflexible, judgemental old fart you met before. If so, sorry! I'm more of a "live and let live", yet strongly opinionated old fart. :) -- caveat utilitor ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤
