It sounds like, "Pffftthhhbbb", "Grrrhhhfff", or sometimes even,
"Fweeeep!"

Give the nice guy little slack! I mean Bruce has done a LOT for Linux
and Open Source. He was Debian leader few years back and worked hard for
the project. So why to nickpick him? There seems to be severall type of
Linux people. Ones who do something and ones who seems to get
satisfaction to harrass the first group for little misteps, which are
unavoidable when one really do something. Grow up.

I won't post again for this list because it is not right plase to
discuss this. Just my 2 cents. And I sure someone will point out that
my english suck :-)

Best Regards
Kari Laine

Has anyone considered that all these personal attacks/claims the
original is spam... is actually in itself spam, in exactly the same
way, actually Joe Bloggs down the street could subscribe by accident
and claim it's all spam because it's "un-wanted".
