These silly RISC-OS users also happen to be Linux users and you're going the right way to piss them off.
Equally, by continually reraising the same topic with no new information, they are going the right way to piss me off. I have no problem with them using RISC-OS if they can drive their mail client. I have no problem with them posting any new info about this problem. I'm happy to let this lie until there are more developments, but posting more noise than signal is very annoying.
Is this the same approach you're intending to use on the schools that might soon need help?
No. Is this the same fine line of personal attacks that you're intending to use at an ALUG meeting?
I'd take care as you step down from that high horse.
People in glass houses, etc.

Someone asked me about this over jabber. Just to explain: these are examples of what some call "wife-beating attacks". They are questions that it's hard to answer without making oneself look bad, similar to asking "When did you stop beating your wife?" If they try to deny the question, then it looks rather like they are still doing it...
