[CS-FSLUG] Re: OK, let's start an argument and try this

[Nathan T.]

That one about whether its lightbulb or light bulb is interesting,
which one is it?

Also someone forgot to mention the people who start threads, then
forget and post an almost identical message again months later causing
the whole argument to start up, those aren't always lurkers are they
(you know who you are).

BTW. Did this come from some desire to see another distribution
argument in the list? it has been a while since we've had one of those
and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's unsure right now as to whether
they like SUSE 10.0 or Mandriva 2006 better. Right now I'm quite
pleased with the improvements in SUSE 10.0, for once it's actually
fast on my computer.
