I want to thank Paige for taking advantage of my "out of the office"
advisory to share her generally childish behavior with my manager, off-
list. We had a good laugh over that one, thanks. No jobs available for
you right now, Paige, sorry, but feel free to send a resume when you
get to be eleven or so, hm?

Er, _what_? I'm afraid I'm unable to work out the relevance of this
comment to that message.
Not to put too fine a point on it, I'm actually still on sabbatical
this week, so to be technical, I'm getting paid to _relax_. Watching
my inbox filling up with the same nonsensical "Mono is a Microsoft
plot to take over Linux, and Miguel and the gang are actually
undercover shills for Steve Ballmer" flamewar, instigated yet
_again_ on this list by Mark Fink, is harshing my mellow...
Personally, I think you have to bend over backwards to suggest that
Miguel (and the rest of the folks) have not contributed
_immeasurably_ over the years to free software.
As for Mono apps, as a photographer, I like F-Stop and I use it.
Nautilus might work for some folks, but with literally hundred and
thousands of photos to sort through, that won't work for me. If
someone wants to come up with a credible non-Mono replacement for
that, and _then_ argue that F-Stop should be removed, fine. But
please don't tell me, in effect, that I should use LaTex instead of
Open Office to do all my documents because a) OO can save things in
MS Word format, and that's evil, or patented, or something, and b)
that LaTex works fine for _you_...
The solution I see here is that Mark Fink and Remco and others who
feel similarly find some other distribution more to their tastes
than Ubuntu. And if Mark Shuttleworth wants or doesn't want
something in Ubuntu, he's more than capable of saying so, he doesn't
need folks attempting to channel him here...
