Linux Introduction

[John G. Heim]

With all due respect, Michael, you shouldn't refer to orca as "a piece of 
crap" or to the developers as losers. First of all, its not true. Secondly, 
it is rude and counter productive. If you think you're making people think 
less of orca, you're wrong. All it does is make people think less of you.
