What on earth does this achieve?

It is perfectly feasible that people read and participate in usenet
newsgroups from a different computer such as a Work PC or a family
member for instance. Windows and Linux are *not* mutually exclusive.

I use windows too, occasionally. If you ever pull me up on it, I'll wipe
the bloody floor with you. ;-)

Google groups dude. It's well known for incorrect header fills.

I am posting in Slackware 11 but I also have installed here Vector, Gentoo,
Mepis, SuSE, Vitalinux, Fedora, and Mandriva.
I keep trying them to compare but still like Slackware best.

Why on earth did you snip out the other part of my post, which provided
the context? Did you do it to try to make a point, and to try and make me
look bad?

He said "I am using Ubuntu...", and I (correctly) pointed out that he was
not. What's your problem?

Oh, look! It's a little whiny bitch punk chiming in with a cheap shot for
no good reason.

You forgot to add the "<AOL>" and "<me_too!> tags to your post.

Pussy.

Go back and read my post again, including the context that you
(conveniently) snipped out. See if you can answer your own question...

Duh.

Horsefeathers.

Besides, only drooling Win-droids post from GG. No self-respecting Linux
user would ever do such a lame thing.

Do you know what, making this a them versus us situation makes
absolutely no sense at all.
If people want to use windows, that's OK by me. I can also understand
why people would use googlegroups. For instance, posting behind some
corporate networks. Making assumptions doesn't help anyone.

Because the context is perfectly obvious from the subject heading.

No. I was simply pointing out that people can feasibly co-exist using
many operating systems. You seem to be on some sort of crusade to point
out peoples user-agent headers. Why? I've no idea. It is completely
irrelevant.

How do you know he isn't using Ubuntu? How do you know he isn't running
windows from within a Virtualisation? How do you know he isn't posting
from an internet cafe or a workplace whilst all of his personal machines
*do* run Ubuntu?

You assume from peoples headers. Well done. Trying to make it "win v
linux" doesn't achieve anything at all.

Formerly Ubuntu. Now Debian.
