If you're going to quote hundreds of lines of text for a two sentence
response, consider at least not keeping the remaining hundreds of lines
of text below your short reply. It makes no sense to leave text quoted
by someone else below your response.

I'm sad to report that people I work with daily that use Linux, are
comonly telling me about how great Windows 7 is. I really don't know
of care if it's better than XP or whatever, I just fail to see why
people that should know better are falling for the new, shiny hyped up
OS. Not that I care, except they won't leave me alone about their
rants and raves about it. I remember how co-workers said that "I'm not
a big fan of Windows, but XP is really cool, you should try it!" I
hear the same about Windows 7. I just respond with "What in the hell
would I want to "try it" for?" It's not going to do what Linux does,
it's not going to offer me the control I want or need for work and my
own sanity. People are dumb.

Whoosh! Balderdash is a word you can find in the dictionary. Boulderdash
is a game.
