Note the inverted commas round that phrase in that post? Guess what that 
means.

Would that be your mind, or a change of it?

Are you saying that it's *not* available from Linux repositories?

Hey, don't take it out on me that you missed the bit where he said he'd 
installed Ubuntu on some other machine or machines. I like the way you 
snipped that point from your reply and didn't address it.

Nice side-swerve.

I never expected to.

The excuse you used to demonstrate your 'change of mind' was pretty 
feeble. I expected something marginally more believable when your 'change 
of mind' finally came. The fact that you have some bee in your bonnet 
about Pennywise and I don't is about as feeble as they come.

You have your axes to grind, I have mine. They don't necessarily have to 
coincide.

Losing your touch?

As long as it's Famous Grouse, I'll be happy.
