I also get "insulted" by some members here, the sad thing about the printed word is you cannot tell the intent. Often it is just good natured jesting, but without body language no one can really tell. I've mentioned the "L" word here a few times and gotten "crap" for it. But it is all taken (and I'd suggest) and given with good intent, it's all water off a duck's back to me. The "L" word? is Linux. We have a few Linux users here and it is definitely in keeping with the Technology aspect of the forum. For laying crap, head over tot he football tipping....
BOT:The Mourning Bride William Congreve 1697Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.
I’ve read, that things inanimate have mov’d,
And, as with living Souls, have been inform’d,
By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.
What then am I? Am I more senseless grown
Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe!
‘Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs.
Anselmo sleeps, and is at Peace; last Night
The silent Tomb receiv’d the good Old King;
He and his Sorrows now are safely lodg’d
Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom.
Why am not I at Peace?
