Fix your (stolen) sig, n00b. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as he garotted another passing Liberal.

Don't even know which OS he is even running! Why the negative signature? I think that all Linux distros have good and bad points, just as long as people are trying them. I left OS/2 after 20 years to run Ubuntu, I just asked for the free CD and they sent it to me(don't ask why I didn't download the .iso, doing that with OS/2-RSJ CD-Writer is a real pain).

Well, the way I see it, there are three possible explanations for this, and I shall make a modest attempt at trying to present them here, free of all liability with regard to their correctness, although I shall also attempt to give them a validation, to be taken by the reader with either a grain or an entire cannister of salt, depending on personal preferences... :p Thought Experiment I: Sidney Lambe is an intellectual with a high degree of spiritual development. He therefore knows that at the quantum level, time and distance are inexistent, and in our three-plus-one-dimensional experience of reality, this would thus signify that we are all one and the same entity, experiencing reality through separate emanations of its own consciousness, equiped with a personality, and thus with free will, but nevertheless all made up out of the very same stardust left over from the Big Bang, and the very same fabric of the universe, which is the ultimate consciousness that has spawned us all so as to have us learn, and therefore, to itself learn through us, about what it is to be alive. I do not consider this a viable explanation behind Sidney's behavior, not because of the whole philosophical thesis itself, but rather because a being so enlightened and evolved that it would contemplate this very profound existential hypothesis would normally not resort to gutter slang and outrightly vicious ad hominem attacks. Thought Experiment II: "Sidney Lambe" is a pseudonym, a moniker to facilitate him to post on Usenet groups and other internet-related communication media, just like "TJ", "Dan C", "Aragorn", "The Natural Philospher", "Wannabe SysAdmin", and many other posters use. It is a legitimate identifier. Furthermore, Sidney Lambe has already admitted in the newsgroup known as alt.os.linux.slackware to be one and the same poster as Bruce Burhans, Alan Connor, Tom Newton, and various others. As such, there is empirical evidence - by his own admission, and by obviously identical idiosyncrasies found in the articles of the aforementioned posters - that Sidney Lambe is a regular nymshifter, presumably as a tactic to stay out of killfiles, and that he presumes that all of us are just like him, and that we all nymshift for the very same reasons as he does. This is called projection. I consider the above a highly viable explanation, but only up to a certain degree, since it would also imply that the population of Usenet newsgroup denizens is actually quite a lot smaller than was statistically believed. Thought Experiment III: Sidney Lambe is an absolutely psychotic and obsessive-compulsive person with severe social dysfunction and equally severe delusion. He presumes things without that there is any evidence for them, and he is in desperate need of attention, which explains why he nymshifts so as to avoid killfiles, since he has a pathological need for people to read his rants. This forms an emotional contradiction within him, because he actually *needs* those whom he hates. In addition to the above, Sidney Lambe would then also make stupid allegations about us all being one and the same person because in this, he is just as delusional as in his GDE conspiracy theories, and given that we are dealing with psychosis, there is no need in his mind for evidence. His own word is good enough as the evidence to the case he makes, or so he thinks. His psychosis may or may not be induced, or otherwise stimulated, by the abuse of what is known in legal terminology as "controlled substances". I consider the above highly viable as an explanation, especially since this explanation does not exclude but actually even synchronizes with Thought Experiment II. Conclusion: Sidney Lambe is *both* a pathetic, nymshifting, cowardly bully who is all too aware that he is exactly that, and a paranoid-delusional, socially dysfunctional psychotic, who may but not necessarily does use severe doses of psychotropics and hallucinogens. I shall not be so cruel as to wish for his death or advise him to commit suicide, as I believe that the universe is big enough for there to be a place for each and every thing in existence. However, for Sidney Lambe, that place is in a highly secured mental ward, wearing a restraining jacket, especially since he has already expounded upon his intentions (in public Usenet groups) to murder a particular person he did not like, and in a sadistic manner. Namaste, old friend. ;-) -- *Aragorn* (registered GNU/Linux user #223157)

I concur. Well written psychiatric diagnosis of Sid (Alan Connor). > I shall not be so cruel as to wish for his death or advise him to commit > suicide, I will. I hope he off's himself immediately upon reading this, or gets hit by a bus during the mental hospital field trips that he takes. > However, for Sidney Lambe, that place is in a highly secured mental > ward, wearing a restraining jacket, Nah, he doesn't need a jacket. Just prop him by the window and let him stare out at the cruel world that hates his guts, and wonder where he went wrong. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".
