Dear Animal Libbers,
I am writing to you to inform you of a terrible situation involving a
little known
but important animal, the GNU, that is being poorly treated. You can
see a picture of
a happy GNU but serious at http://www.gnu.org/. These lovely and
contented creatures
just wish to roam the shores of the C and look at interesting Shells
they find. They
can often be found browsing on the free and open range file systems.

However I know of some of these poor creatures that are being forced
to work using
Visual C++ and Monad, and they have so much trouble browsing the rocky slopes of
Samba Land. They are not happy as their arms and fingers get so tired
continually
pulling down menus all the time instead of using Ctrl-x Ctrl-s or :w.

Perhaps you can organise a march or something to protect this free
spirited creature
from exploitation.

Your sincerely,
Another oft stepped on creature
a SLUG.
