That's exactly what is happening.

Back a few years ago when a person would venture into a Linux group and ask

for help with a problem, or spew out their frustration with Linux, the

Linux loons would deny that the problem existed.

These days with more people trying Linux, the problems are coming out and

the Linux loons can no longer deny that these problems exist, although they

still try.

The evidence is overwhelming.

That site is hysterical BTW!!!!
