   A fellow makes a small mistake in a well written post (Which I haven't

   IMHO the follow-ups were petty, so I would assess the posters as being
petty...

   And some people feel the need to believe they are better than the rest
of us. I offer you the same suggestion.

About the FSF and their boycott on Apple:

   I personally love the Macintosh. I have been able to get a lot of
people who previously had no interest in computers to use one because
of its VERY friendly interface. However, I DETEST APPLE because they
(along with the other lawyer heavy companies) are helping to ruin one
of the few industries that is still alive in the US. Now that there
are a lot of other countries targeting the US software industry it is
even more likely that it will go the way of auto and electronics
manufacturers. When this happens, it will be those companies complaining
to congress (and begging subsidies) about unfair conditions in the other
countries. The only way to remain competitive is to stop this ridiculous
bickering and lawyer fests. The FSF is the only organization with the
gumption to attempt to put pressure on the biggies (proncounced 'piggies')
to stop. I support their boycott on supplying support for FSF software
to such companies as Apple...
