Yes, I am terribly impressed by your apt-cache printouts you have sent
today.  I mean geeze, who knew?

In recent years, Slackware users got the reputation as being the kind of
folks to answer every problem with 'get Slackware'.  Now I can see it
has moved to another distro.

You should realize, Karl, that Debian is *not* for everybody.  Slackware
isn't for everybody.  RedHat isn't for everybody, Mandrake isn't for
everybody.  Your multitude of apt-xxxx posts here have done nothing but
to say, "Hey, RedHat user, you're the biggest F'ing moron in the whole
world for not using Debian.  I am cool because I am using Debian.  See
what I can do with my Debian?  Aren't I cool?"

I've never actually wanted to filter out a poster on a mailing list
before... but geeze, you're making me want to look into it now.

Have a nice day.
