Not me. I'm not the one whining about Ubuntu posts.

No one is stopping you.

When people are wanting to ditch Vista, or are so frustrated with it that
they don't know what else to do, why not offer alternatives?
But the funny part is that 99% of the posts vaguely about Ubuntu here
would go away, if ya'll just got Frank to see reason.
Good luck with that one!

And some people use both Vista & Ubuntu, yet you'd want to limit their
speech here.
Fine. Sieg Heil!

No what is disingenuous is that you only want to stop the PRO-Ubuntu
"screeds."
Why not try to stop the anti-Ubuntu guys first? Because you agree with
them.
Stop Frank first, then get back to me.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
