O.K. the above is all good _on_topic_ info. Although I could get on you
of how you could have chosen a better example than Marylin Manson as you
did Chad of Angelina Jolie. I'll stop there since I'm not inclined to
spew 5Mb of nonsense and waste everyone's time.

This is O.K. too. still good info and the _opinion_ above is not
overdone.

/overly redundant nonsense
WE GET IT. you don't comment on distro's you don't use and you throw a
fit when others do it and you wish that others would try Fedora before
they comment. WE COMPLETELY TOTALLY THOROUGHLY GET IT!!!!!!!!!
NOTE that the guy you replied to says that he's used 3 different
versions of Fedora. He doesn't even apply to your redundant bloated
response.
JUST STOP!! STOP STOP STOP STOP PLEASE!!
If I see one more thing like this in the near future Bryan, I am going
to miss anything you ever say that might fix something I have been
dealing with because I am going to trash any e-mail that originates from
you or maybe even has your name in it. I _do_not want to do this but I
think after the 110 (yes, I counted) e-mails in the last nonsense
thread, If this continues you'll leave me no choice. please stop an
move on. I don't mind you commenting on Fedora because I like to learn
about other distros and I know it's what you primarily use. What is so
bad is that I have to re-read so much nonsense to find anything of
value.
Maybe you could write a script that greps your sent e-mails and uses sed
to remove repetitive verbage. I don't know. But please don't put me in
a position to just trash your mail.
Thanks.
