Dude. When a sales guy comes onto a list like this and starts
plugging his product in response to every query about ls and tar, he's
using grassroots methodologies to perform viral marketing tasks in an
effort to leverage his core competencies to further the completion of
his primary action item.
It's unfortunate that JP uns*bscr*bed from the list, and I did
appreciate the few times when he posted without including a
commercial. He seems like a nice guy, and was indeed a good resource
for non-spinnable Novell/SuSE information.
However, when you come onto a list like this with an agenda like that,
you'd better be wearing your robes of fire resistance and your boots
of stoneskin.
