It is only puzzling if you forget to take into account the main reason
half the "COLA gang" are here.
They are here because a long time back they learnt the arguments for ls
or cd or (and fair play) "find" and they thought they were "l33t".
That, in their little world, made them special.
It's why people like Gregory and the rest do not want Linux made easy
for the masses.
See the latest posts in the Ubuntu group where ( a decent fellow) Andrew
thinks that Dell making DVDs play on insert is a "bad thing".
Most of the gang have no interest in advocating Linux. They only want to
advocate how clever and ahead of the curve they are.
And then, of course, we have Willy Poaster and his killfiles. What makes
him and his ilk tick is beyond me.
