This mailing list has no elite of which to enter into, it is a call for 
annoyances of an operating system.

He convinced me with the fact that it took him 2 seconds to delete the 
thread. And 10 seconds to read it IIRC.
Why should it have taken that long? Why not longer? 
Enlighten us please with your elite annoyances.

I think Dex was right on the money this mailing list is titled "Seeking 
Linux annoyances for a book" , not "Seeking the Open Source Politicaly 
elite" or as he put it not "geek philosophy chatter" ,still the fact 
remains R. Bruce started this fruitless thred and it is truly annoying.
