then you're doing things the hard way and missing out on all sorts of
functionality that's not possible any other way.

let me guess. you use linux. linux users *love* to do things in the
most convoluted way possible and make excuses that their way is the
best because there is no other option due to the sheer lack of quality
software. they *have* to do things manually.

Nospam never makes inflammatory comments about other peoples operating
systems

You noticing, Duck? Is it Windows or Linux users who start all the
arguments? The bashing?

I recognize the veiled sarcasm of sid's comment.

Let's take this thread for example. The OP was Eric, a non-Mac user,
who frequently regurgitates articles from "The Register". One wonders
why.
His motives might be altruistic and intended to benefit to the Mac
users here, and one hopes that is so. However, this has happened too
many times to believe that it is anything less than a provocative poke
at Apple, perhaps even a "bash", knowing full well that at least nospam
will bite.

....and "bashing" is certainly a nospamism.

From there the mud slinging through the Usenet ether is inevitable.

nospam's pants are on fire.

That depends on the way the thread has developed. In this case Eric
dropped the baited hook, along with some fragrant chum in the water.
Both nospam and yours truly took that bait.

None of us are blameless in escalating some flame wars here, I can
think of your interactions with Jonas for example. Neither one of you
will step away from the sophomoric exchanges. He also has a special
degraded Usenet interaction with sid and whisky Dave.
