Rather off topic but amusing source of information just to lighten up the attitude of some. I'm sure everyone here probably relates vaguely to at least one of the characters - which one are you? :o) http://www.flamewarriorsguide.com/ Regards Iain.

I think it is generally well agreed here that attacks and derogatory terms of any kind are not welcome, but this does not require any form of moderation other than a gentle reminder. With respect, if you wish your posts to be taken seriously and your posts to have a more "adult" air to them, then using tired and somewhat immature terms such as "Visual$, Windoze" etc is not going to achieve that. You do not need to use an insulting tone to promote D, and using such terms only makes you look bad. Of course, some of us (myself being included as pretty big FSF advocate) like the GNU/Linux way of doing things better, but as they say, there's more than one way to cook a goose. Do we really need to treat people disrespectfully? Regards
