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.
