They're not. It's merely a personality defect called "validation." Same as
religious folks who knock on your door.

Promoter of Linux or just some dopey signature? IMHO if you want
answers, don't send mixed messages.

As for giving free advice, I do it all the time in my profession, but,
if you come back wanting specific details that will take considerable
time, I won't do it without compensation.

I would hope evodawg is just trying to start a discussion.
As an apparent Linux user I think he knows why people some times
give away valuable things for free.

As for you, Mr Plonker, your comments are offensive.

Yes, I'm running Linux, plonk me too. Please.

Very interesting replies. Wondering why so many got so defensive? I was
merely asking a simple question that should have returned a simple answer.
I have given away many secrets and knowledge on this newsgroup and this is
the thanks I get. I should have expected this from some but not the
majority of posters. Attacks were uncalled for.

As far as linux goes, and that was not even brought up. I would rather use
an Operating System that actually works! I know for some pointing a
clicking at a picture works for them. I on the other hand would like to use
an OS that takes some intelligence and a thought process. I don't use Linux
because it's free, although that is a good selling point. HAHAHA I use it
because it works!!!!!!!!!!

Have a NICE DAY! I need to go to work now and get paid for my KNOWLEDGE!!!
