: Hey idiots!
:      Instead of mindlessly spamming every group with the word "unix" in
: it's header, how about spending the f*****g time to limit your post to
: those groups devoted to Windows?  Morons, well how about this, I will
: purposely steer people who ask me about your product away from it.  Now
: will you spend a little f*****g time to think about your advertising?

I don't like advertising, but this _IS_ relevent to unix - they're
supporting X - it's (almost) a unix-only protocol - one they've ported to
Windoze95% & NT.

There's only one thing I hate worse than advertising, it's people that
like to sprout off language like yours to make a point.
