Oh God yes. The "versus" has gotta go.
People say it's "choice." Not if everyone states their preference in a
distro by analyzing it against another.
Especially when someone hasn't used the distro at all. Sorry to be a
broken record, but this is whole "uber-flammage" thread was a highlight
example.
I should have just dropped it, but I wanted to see "how far Chad would
go." Apparently, quite far.
David, you're a gentleman. I should aspire to be so humble and
restrained.
