This is a Linux advocacy group, not a support group for US
Department of Defense Microsoft product users.

Per http://www.faqs.org/faqs/linux/advocacy/faq-and-primer/

Paragraph 1.4 states, "The charter of comp.os.linux.advocacy is:
For discussion of the benefits of Linux compared to other
operating systems."

More ad hominem potty mouthed off-topic drivel.  This corresponds
with:

'Use ... the Internet, etc. to heighten the impression that the
enemy is desperate, demoralized, defeated, ... associated with
mental deficiency, as in, "he believes in Santa Claus, the Easter
Bunny". Just keep rubbing it in, via the ... newsgroups, ... make
the complete failure of the competition's technology part of the
mythology of the computer industry.'
