Michael, 

	You shouldn't bother.  The guy is a troll.  No matter what you
say he will twist it to something that suits his agenda.  His objective
is to maintain his point that Linux is the end all, beat all of
Operating Systems.  Your point of view doesn't matter.  I've said before
that I run both, because there are some things that Linux can't do...
and his retort to that was, if you can't do it in linux, then there's no
need to do it.  I pointed out that as a small business owner, I have to
do my own bookkeeping, and there really are no programs avaiable to do
this.  So, my point was I run Windows so I can use Quickbooks, which
GNUCash can't compare... Anyway, my point was lost on the looser, and
hence, I've added him to my twitlist and have been much happier.  

	One very good point about using SynchroNet... its twitlist is
unbeatable.  Any posts with Maurice's name in either the from or to are
removed, so I don't even catch others posting to him.  So, the Troll has
been killed.  He's a non-entity.

	
 

... Mother Nature is a Bitch.
