This isn't some pissing contest y'know.
so big deal, I've only donated money by means of buying box sets, I've
installed systems for clients when I was working in that field but not at
that scale, and I've only been using linux since 1999, although I've been
unixing since 1995.

Only an idiot would call you a wintroll.
But just cos you've been working in the field and doing big stuff doesn't
invalidate the "lesser"(in your opinion) advocate.
