[nylug-talk] [Offtopic] OpenSolaris meeting 6pm Wednesday, February 20th

[Zach Stern]

I still mostly read the list via berry, but not always.

I love the berry's email client, so its not an issue for me. You can scroll
super fast just by pressing space, and I'm a quick reader.

Lets all agree to disagree. Since we ARE all going to do whatever the hell
we want. Also in response to the silly stepping on your foot argument, until
this method of posting actually effects you physically, thats really a bad
example.

There are different levels of rudeness.
