YM "whinge". HTH. Stop shouting.

Your message is totally offensive to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge
of Usenet etiquette for at least two reasons:


1) Posting in upper case is considered to be shouting, as well has hard on the
   eyes.

2) You don't understand the concept of "trimming your headers", which is
   what you do to keep postings relevant to the groups you read. As
   opposed to what you did, which is simply reply to all the newsgroups
   the original post was made to.

1) Australia isn't an island, it's a continent. Greenland is the world's
   largest island. 

2) Given the fact that import tariffs and other taxes jack the prices up
   for components, your inference that no-one orders from OS is silly.

3) You're still shouting.

Oooh, and like yours is relevant to aus.computers.linux?
 

OS religious war incitement is punishable by having your dinner taken
away and sent to your room.

I dunno. You're both offensive. Can I not be friends with both of you?
