This is a very odd post to rec.audio.pro. It is also factually
incorrect concerning costs and supports for servers (assuming normal
servers looking after web, mail, print, backup, etc... and not user
programs) but this is hardly the appropriate forum for debate. Given
that very few people on this mail group will be using linux why the
protest? I probably should have ignored it but why was it posted?


Apologies to rec.audio.pro

It would appear that the individual who began the thread in your forum is
suffering from some sort of psychological abnormality and/or has a vendetta
against Linux or certain people who support it. It seems that this person
has been posting similar anti-linux messages with, as you have noted,
certain liberties being taken in regards to the truthfulness of his
messages, which naturally incite a number of people in each group to
respond.

Some of those people take considerable umbrage at his liberties with facts
and their responses may include a bit of outrage at his oft-repeated antics.
His inclusion of at least one non-linux group in each cross-posting would
seem to be a premeditated attempt to expose non-linux groups to the
controversy that inevitably arises.

It is, unfortunately, not possible to censor his diatribes from those groups
who have no interest.

We regret the disturbance to your group.

Hopefully, the majority of those who respond to his posts will be
considerate of those unrelated groups and not include them in follow-ups. It
is evident that even non-linux users are able to discern the truth of his
material, and responses in those groups are unnecessary. His own behavior is
sufficient to characterize his aberration.
