LOL, nice joke. If you were to change this listserv to all windoze, I'd have to have myself removed. I am a Linux user and that is where I will stay.

> Dear List Members,
> 	It struck me the other day that we as Christians are told to be 
> the light of the world. How can we do so while we are being odd 
> balls compared to the 90 something percent of the world that uses 
> Windows? Not only do we separate ourselves in this way, this also 
> means we spend less time at the local computer shops getting 
> Windows repaired and upgrades installed, and therefore, less time 
> when we could be being "salty." Moreover, how can almost the 
> entirety of all computer users be wrong about what OS people should 
> use?
> 
> 	Given this, I've decided to change the purpose and name of this 
> list. Henceforth, it will be called CNS-NFSWUG (Christian 
> Non-Source-Non Free Software/Windows Users Group) and all members 
> must use a variant of Outlook, Hotmail/MSN or AOL to send messages 
> to the list. The CS website will also start blocking all browsers 
> other than Internet Explorer from viewing the site. I know this 
> transition will be difficult, but it will be worthwhile.

> 	FOSS-Cafe and OfB-Talk mailing lists will henceforth be merged 
> together as the Windows Oriented Roundtable Messaging Talk list 
> (WORM-Talk). These lists will concentrate on helping people move 
> off of evil non-conforming OSes.
> 
> 	Along side this, I am pleased to announce Closed for Business 
> (CfB), which will be the successor to Open for Business. CfB will 
> carry useful news for those seeking to migrate to Windows from 
> lesser operating systems. Likewise, our ServerForest hosting 
> services will be migrating from Red Hat to Windows Server System 
> 2003, which will allow CfB to run on top of ASP.net.
> 
> 	I'm ordering MSN Broadband this afternoon and will shortly be 
> casting out GNU/Linux and Mac OS X in favor of Windows XP SP 2 on 
> my systems. To insure that I don't lead anyone else into the 
> heinous temptation to run a non-Windows system, I will be 
> personally recycling all of my non-Windows hardware and software so 
> that I can rest soundly knowing no one else will be lead down the 
> wide path to computer destruction.
> 
> 	Again, thank-you for your understanding during this transition.
