Ah, you meant no harm. Honestly, I thought you were just another Linux
elitist. As a Slackware user, I see a lot of bullying when I browse
Slackware-related fora; I jumped to conclusions. Mea culpa again...

Ha! Signal/noise ratio. Hilarious... This is true; I could use some
filters. I'm just afraid that I'll miss a topic I would otherwise want
to read. Still, I'm finding cancellation messages annoying, as do the
many, quick, thoughtless posts that litter the politics groups to which
I am subscribed.
