Desperate COLANUTS. Married to Linux but still have no life

Actually, it's Rex Ballard. I use a dvorak keyboard so the print on the keycaps is completely ignored. I am engaged to be married in July 2006 to a woman I consider to be absolutely wonderful. I've also been married once before, for 10 years, and had a girlfriend named Sierra for 12 years. I also make a 6 figure income.

I am also very active in 12 step programs and have 25 years clean and sober, I've also helped many other people get sober and have contributed to the liturature of one of the fellowships.

I'm also active in Landmark Education and have buttisted in several courses as well as taking on leadership roles in this organization.

I have a great life, and really enjoy using Linux.

I prefer to really interact with most postings, which means addressing nearly all of the issues raised by an articulate poster. I have been particularly attracted to the postings of people like drestin black, billwg, and other very articulate proponents of the Microsoft arguments against Linux. I find it delightful to actually be able to have stimulating discussions with people who are so intelligent, interesting, and really committed to their position.

I may not influence these people directly, but every interaction between us provides a new and unique perspective for lurkers and advocates who are often a bit dogmatic and extreme, or are very curious about Linux but have only been able to see one side (the Microsoft side) of the story.
