If you don't agree with those of us who think there's a steep learning
curve for unix installs and admin, that's fine. But your
consistant claim that such belief makes us self-congradulatory and
pompous is offensive and rude. Disagree with us all you want, debate the
issue to your heart's content, but stop being an asshole. If you've run
out of things to say beyond ad hominim attacks, just shut up. Beyond
that, I've enjoyed this discussion. I'd prefer to continue it w/o being
insulted.
