If

... some of the supposed linux advocates are so clever, why aren't they in the top jobs of those they are so critical?

Why aren't they in positions of employment that allow them their ten penn'orth to improve positive change in the linux drive.

Why aren't those same linux advocate in positions that promote the increased expansion of the linux market share, instead of continually sniping.

If they can voice metaphor their linux advocacy in cola and believe that what they post is in some way significant, why don't they do something more about it.

All I see in this group from those that consider themselves linux advocates are opinionated fools hell bent of deriding everything non-linux, fixated on Microsoft and bicker about what bailo, flatfish???, Funkenbusch et al post but not what they convey, but I see no linux advocacy of any worth.

It's as if they're posting simply to get a response for what they think is cleverly worded. That they are not in the slightest bit interested in the improvement of others perception of linux. Not interested in a positive approach to helping potential linux users understand the benefits of linux and why they believe in the advocacy they preach. Is it true the linux advocates really don't care about linux or advocacy?

The snapping, snarling and yapping pink french poodles know who they are, like they know they are doing a disservice to linux and its community.

So, you linux advocates, don't hide behind your 'begin', instead encourage your posts if you truly believe you have something that could change the linux course of history. And avoid posting confrontationally to those you consider your opponents or when you feel threatened, with posts like, 'idiot', or 'windopes' or 'Micro$haft'... or isn't linux worth it?
