Sometimes, I wonder...
Why I'm wasting my time reading all those posts... I knew Linux (and all GNU stuff) was like a religion but I never thought all its disciples were so eager to spread the news of their intellectual superiority... Every single ZDNet news (virus, browser update, spam, OS feature...) is an opportunity to start preaching again... Not to say the people reacting in the opposite direction, pleading for Microsoft or Apple, are any better...

Things will never improve because of all this binary (good and bad and nothing else) thinking... I know now it is useless to read ZDNet talkbacks for they are taken over by fanatics... Its only useful to see how people can spend valuable minutes of their lives on useless and silly matters...
