Clearly there is a disconnect and I apologize. I continue to be very impressed with the level of perfection enjoyed by we as Debian users. You have to realize that I live in a world dominated by Microsoft users who have no clue about Linux. Of the Linux users in our organization (ORNL), most use RedHat for various reasons. As a result, I defend Debian often from "both sides". So, when I see one "complaining" it could be misinterpreted in the wrong way. We should demand perfection. Perhaps we should state it in such a way that it does not come across the wrong way to those like myself not knowing the individuals involved. Did I spell grateful greatful ?
