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.

loonies like you spouting off will scare news users away.
