Is there a point lurking in this statement? I didn't get it during the first
few readings.

This is subjective opinion. I help when I have valid experience to offer. I
have been aided by at least several dozen people via this list as well.

This statement is perception, ones internal view only. BTW, I was asked to
address my line sizing too. I thought it was kind that someone told me about
it.

Do you feel that I am harshly attacking you? Answer: I am not attacking
you. I am, however, critically examining statements you have expressed in
this textual message. I think you are intelligent and probably a focused
individual. That last sentence is a perception of mine.
I do use Debian. I think Debian is hard to grasp for many users, and I think
that other users think it is "the cats meow" in OS's. I also support
Debian's ideals, and this helps me transcend clearly abusive statements.
Debian hackers take the time to dig far deeper into ideals than any other
group of users/hackers that I can find and viably use. Transversely, really
stupid questions, at times, beg for really stupid answers. Typically, this
is known as humor. Humor is also one of the many elusive talents of the
masses. Some people will understand (get) humor and enjoy it, while others
will take it personally, and begin a retaliatory attack (flame).

By whom would/could Debian be missed by? If Debian were to go away right
now, I will miss it.

Do professionals have to be penis bearers (his)? What an odd statement.

Eureka(!), I originally thought this post was serious :)

I wish you well Glen. I have not added you to my spam filter.
