No, no wheelchair. I have a life and I find good balance. Needless to say,
the troll prefer to portray me unfavourably. To them, it's convenient. And I
agree with John, by the way. I would not say to Erik "stop posting". I would
say "stop trolling". If he wished to extol the virtues of Windows and
highlight the deficiencies of Linux, that's /precisely/ is what Windows
advocacy forums are for. As it stands, he is taking a dump in enemy
territory and then asks for toilet paper.
