I'd like to thank the idiot trolls for keeping this thread alive.

I don't read their garbage, but that's irrelevant. It doesn't
matter what they say. It just matters that people see that
obvious losers don't like what I posted.

Which tells them I must have something on the ball, and that the
original post is worth checking out.

It always amazes me that people as stupid and ignorant as the
typical troll can even operate computers.

Once upon a time they could only use Windows or Mac.

Now, thanks to KDE and Gnome, they can run Linux.

Or rather, KDE and Gnome run Linux for them....

This is a sad, sad, development.
