I've lived near Portland for 23+ years.  I have been using Linux for
over 10 years.  I am most certainly representative of the Linux users
in the greater Portland Metropolitan area.  My comments are perfectly
legitimate, you don't see me shacking up with a fiancee.  If it is
appropriate to promote inappropriate sexual activity on plug-talk it
is appropriate to discourage it as well.
