Look, I don't know what the hell happened here but it was not my fault, I
simply received as strange automated reply from some one I had never met
before, and replied reasonably, I did not know it was part of a mailing
list!

//intentionally sent as well
This happens quite often among newbies and lamers. We just need to
unsubscribe the offending user.

The compuserve CDs are designed to keep bogeymen away as well. This
means that a sensible Linux user should keep both types hanging near
by. Careful studies have shown that if you put a version of the Win98
EULA on your door Windows users will frequently stop to read it before
knocking. As it is so complex and full of evil lawyer phrases they
will fail to understand it and turn away worried about breaking the
doorknob single user licence. I hope this helps worried Linux users.
