- I second this. I can not believe that there are people out there
- can post articles using language that may discourage volunteers
- who have put tremendous time and effort to give us a wonderful
- system as Linux, on a public forum like c.o.l.
- (BTW, when I first read the subject disaster at tsx-11 by the same poster,
- I thought that there is some killing/hurricane going on at MIT :-) )
-
- Please think twice before you post. THink about what you have to PAY and about
- the efforts that Linus, Ted, H.J and other Linux volunteers have put
- into this project to give us what we have today, all for free.

- If you have problems, may I suggest that you ask polite questions to the net.
- I'm sure that there are thousands of users who can give you answer.
- And I think people like H.J., Linus and Ted are always willing to help
- you, if you ask politely. We all need help.

- Please count me as one in this group. Millions of thanks to all Linux
- volunteers. WE _ARE_ very grateful to what you have done. Please don't
- be discouraged by a few unthankful individuals.
