Well spoken K, even if we don't agree on Linux audio! :-) It never seems to fail, those evangelizing do their cause grief. Much better to live the life and let that life lead by quiet example. Ap

From: J. Anthony on 12 Jun 2005 01:12 Hi. Troll here. By the way, what exactly is wrong with being a troll? I simply read the posts when I get a chance to and see if something interests me. This thread certainly did just that. *L* I just wanted to note(for what ever it matters from a troll) that the first guy who said he was switching to Linux didn't seem to me as though he was doing or saying anything wrong in the very first post. Did I miss something there? Mod did seem to(from what I saw) "attack" first. Either way, it turned out to be fairly amusing. I had a few chuckles here and there. In case I did miss it, is there something wrong with switching to Linux or selling your legal copies of software on Ebay(if they could be sold, which he seemed to have believed to be the case)? I personally feel that you should have EVERY right to sell something that you have purchased. Cakewalk saying I can't sell something I have paid for(a product, a thing, something I have in my hands that I OWN) is CRAZY! *L* Anyway, certainly not joining in either side here, just wondering if I missed something. Back to the troll thing real quick though... what exactly is so bad about being a troll to a newsgroup? Am I missing something there as well? Am I expected to log on everyday and type something so that someone somewhere will think I'm actively participating? When I do log on, I always throw in a post when it seems I have info that may help some how, but I don't go to newsgroups very often. Any newsgroup I ever go to for any subject is just to get info. I didn't realize they were used for anything else. If I have something to share, I certainly do out of common courtesy, but I don't just "hang out" and post on them all day. I have a job and a family that require more time of me than that, and, I enjoy spending time with friends and family here in real life, so seeking that on the internet just seems a bit trivial. hmm... that sounded sarcastic. Didn't mean it that way, I'm just not sure I'm getting the whole concept of this particular newsgroup? I use a newsgroup like any other type of manual or research for something I'm doing. If there's something I'm un-shure of, I pop in and see if it's been discussed, and if not, I post a question and the nice people here will usually post a reply, and while I'm here, I scan over other posts to see if I have anything useful to contribute. Let me know if I'm missing the mark here? Have a good day. J. Anthony
