[Xitami] List Filtering

[Many Lists]

Personally I don't know squat about Linux.  I did some training on HP
Unix 4-5 years ago.

Well, its really not the language that bothers me, its the attitude.
Its just friggin text - whether its HTML or plain text.  I admit some
take it too far by adding backgrounds and graphics, but it is generally
not the case here.  I really don't understand the big deal about it.  A
deleted HTML message takes up no more space than a deleted Plain Text
message.

And the whole Linux Supremacy bit is very irritating as well.  I would
prefer a religious freak any day.  At least religious fanatics think the
rest of the world is just lost.  Linux thumpers believe the rest of the
world are just lowly idiots that are nothing more than herded cattle
being led to slaughter.

Xitami is a web server that works on both Linux and Windows OSes, so
like it or not, there are gonna be quite a few Windows users on this
list.  And even though it isn't necessarily a good thing, Windows is
still the most popular/common OS on the planet.  And most of these
Windows users who are starting a Xitami-based web server for the first
time, and are requesting assistance, have not yet encountered the likes
of a Linux thumper.  They probably didn't even know that Outlook
defaults to HTML messages.  And, they surely had no idea that it was
gonna piss someone off to no end if they did unknowingly post in HTML.
Face it, HTML is gonna keep coming . . . .

If those guys really have that much of a problem with it, then they
should go start their own list and call it
PlainTextXitamiLinuxFanaticism@yahoogroups.com .  Its free, and it can
be setup to work just like this.  We'll stay here and direct the
newcomer Plain Text 'enthusiasts' over there.

Don't sweat the small stuff in life.
