NP, I just try to do the Open Source thing, sharing my culture with
everybody w/o giving a damn for recognition or any kind of return.
Humanity deserves better cooked beef. :P

You can expect whatever you want, I am going to speak my mind anyway,
believe me, most of us think the same, some even sent me private
emails agreeing with my position, but I guess I have this bad habit of
telling how it is...

I do not know what u talking about, I could give less of a shit about
somebody not respecting me because I don't agree with the way things
are going. And because GLLUG stepped up, it deservers recognition and
MORE AUTONOMY, not the teenager screw-up son treatment it's getting
from the ConCom.

Consider yourself ignored, and have fun next year, I'll certainly not
going to be there. I'm done with WhateverCon...

Sure, go ahead and put a Windows licensed machine available for public
usage, let's see how many copyright/license infringements you idiots
can achieve. I had to deal with Windows licensing before, and it's
fun! Go for it!
