This is spam as far as I'm concerned. There is nothing about Linux or 
related to it. Windows scripting is a joke based on DOS crap. Therefore my 
conclusion is this email is nothing more than SPAM from Windows Scripting 
Solutions folks. Why should I care about windows crap! Get lost!

This is not the first time I received spam that was somewhat related to
this mailing list. It's despicable to use mailing lists for spamming.
There are people (digital whores) who subscribe to mailing lists to
harvest addresses for spam. Their fingers should be chopped off for each 
offence.

ok. why should u care about windows crap?
um. hello! we're living in a world where marketing determines what
software we use and like it or not, windows has the monopoly on it at the
moment.
Do you consider GNU/Linux a viable alternative? you're andswer should be
yes.
I also consider GNU/Linux to be a viable alternative but, until either you
or I have the billions of dollars that these fools that call themselves
microsoft have we'll just have to rely on word of mouth and companies like
ibm and the like that want to deal with linux as a viable solution..
yes this is spam but let's not blow it off like that. be polite about it.
I don't like it any more than you do but I'm gonna read it all the same. I
wanna see who's up to what.
And, while I'm on it, if GNU/Linux is going to want to even come near
toppling microbrains, it'll have to be severely dumbed down for the masses
who neither know or care who the fuck's doing what to they're computer or
how it works.
Either that or start educating everyone on how their computer works and
what to do when it falls over.
I for one would like to see microsoft get what they deserve. a kick in the
ass and told to clean up they're act and ultimately go get stuffed and to
kiss our collective asses for their underhanded exploitative scare
mungering tactics.
so if someone sends you spam deal with it in a polite manner.
write a procmail recipe to bounce it back to em 100 times. bwhahaha.

I do not. Any spam related to it or not is NOT welcome on domains I
manage.

My job exclusively depends on Linux and Unix, so no need for a public 
lesson.

That's complete nonsense. Dreaming about money and changing the world 
when you have it is just a dream.

I do NOT GIVE A DAMN about spam and IDIOTS that spread it. There is a law 
in CA that UCE is illegal.

More nonsense. Majority doesn't care what's in the box as long as it does
what they can handle or want.

So why do you defend the spammer? There was nothing on that site that one
could defend as Linux or blinux related. Besides, DOS scripting is a total
nonsense. If the email author mentioned GNU utils (bash for example)  
ported to windows etc.  that would make some sense but he did not. The URL
was just a free plug for a website as far as I can see.

We dealt with them in a polite manner for too long. It's time somebody
chops their ass off. That's why we have so much crap in our daily lives,
it's this "let's just go along" instead of old tradition "I have a gun
[Linux], you have a gun, let's be polite mister", i.e. you spam [steal
computer resources], we throw you in jail for 3 years.

I won't waste my time on further discussions on this matter.

hmmmmm. I can see that you're a died in the wool GNU/Linux supporter.
let's face it both operating systems are here to stay and if you read
carefully which I seriously doubt, I already said that noone namely the
masses care about their machines or how they work.
maybe it's about time they did.
sure you want the thing to do the tasks you want but let's try and have it
done on an operating system that don't fall over at the slightest hicup.
and mister that's what windows does. an application seg faults and the
whole operating system falls over. but I also see your point about the
urls being presented.
if you don't want them on here then write a fucking script to block those
urls out.
forget about jail terms and the like. you won't stop spam unless you do 2
things.
1. if you must, sensor the crap out.
2. write a complaint letter to the isp admin and see that that user has
their account revoked. failing that yes go for the jail term.
the world is too small for us 2 to be bitching over the finer points of
spamming and those who parttake in such activities.
let's just get back to the business of helping people that is, blind
people with GNU/Linux and accessability issues.
