Speaking of which, I'd like to outline a trend which no one at NYLXS
follows I'll call it the Adam Kosmin trend. Its a trend that does
nothing more than fulfill ones own ego. Someone who is so self-rightous
he believes that anything he does and says is beyond reproach or
question. Omniscient to use a word. In the process he manages to
pervert and twist words to serve his own purpose. He becomes so blind
to his own message that he doesnt see anything past his own opinion. No
actually scratch that, he follows someone elses message that he cant
form his own opinion. Then when someone questions it that person is
attacked by indirect insults.
I for one am glad I have a chance to be a part of NYLXS, I know NYLXS
adheres to the same philosophy. But sometimes the words are used
incorrectly, yet anyone at NYLXS will gladly take part in a normal
debate without name calling. But when the name calling ensues NYLXS
isnt shy to outright call someone an idiot. Not hide behind
inflammatory statements statements. NYLXS, as far as I can see, doesnt
pull any punches.
Lastly, NYLXS also knows that egos and thank you's dont put food on the
table.
Like I keep saying, if Microsoft came out with something better than
GNU/Linux I would go out and buy it. But they dont. If someone else
see's that Microsoft makes a better product for them, so much the
better. There are plenty of IT directors out there who dont care what
the product is as long as it works. They couldnt care about the GPL or
propretary. But that sort of mentality is more a reflection of their
ignorance than their enlightenment.
Talk about selfish,
Steve M
