There is one sad thing : The most abusive people on the newsgroup always get the
most of the attention compared to the much more interesting posts. Those
provocative posts should be completely ignored. But as a human being, I can't
help to reply to them. I just 'come back' from a Linux newsgroup and you always
find one of 'them' ( beware they are among us !) anywhere you go.

Anyway after such flaming, I am not sure that the 'Rolex-maker' will come round
again.

That was just a thought.
