   And your paranoia pills need to be taken with a glass of water. What are   
   YOU doing in the Ubuntu group? This is for people who use Linux and want   
   to help people - not crazy Linux zealots who dont believe Linux has   
   problems and that noobs have problems.   
      
   Go away.

   Clear off. This is a help group where many people come who DONT think it   
   is very intuitive. It takes time to teach people new tricks and having   
   loonies like you spouting off will scare news users away.
