Considering the tangent that went on, I wonder where the "spite" begins?

Really? I'm looking back through my 2 technical posts, and then all the
others, in the chronology. Which led me to post the way I did after all
those.

I thought it was a "good lesson" in how to look at a situation and what
_not_ to do. But everyone has an opinion on Red Hat, and they will
share it.

Considering I don't comment on Debian so much as you do on Red Hat, even
though I've used Debian far more than you've used Red Hat, I'm still
kinda scratching my head.

It's just advise. If you don't want to heed it, we'll just have more
Red Hat commentary made regularly, with lots of tangents, threads,
etc... But you won't see me do otherwise on Debian.

Despite my history with Debian and your lack, thereof, with Red Hat. It
is this that I find most humorous. You continue to look at me, but not
yourself.
