Suprising how new linux users fall for the "i am a FLOSS friend, this google thing is hurting FLOSS" line. The trolls are tripping over themselves to get out the "bad news".

It's not a mail thread, but a Pre-View of the hype that's in the market from end user perspective.
Err. Both KG and my mail were not directed at you, but at similiar articles by budding technical authors all twisted up about the detrimental effective of google and chrome to FLOSS and the universe in general. Never mind most of them seem to be exact replicas of M$ press releases.
Neither is it meant to be a FLOSS related article nor a critic tablet. I would request to please read the complete article before commenting. I had sent the complete article but then it was rejected as it was long.
Do not send complete articles. You will be violating copyright law, besides chewing everybody's bandwidth. A link is sufficient - especially if it's your own blog. After all every author loves his own words. (This mail is an exception;-E)
I think its a mistake to post articles and questions here because each time, its posted, it gets trapped in personal remarks, insults, debate and also misleading of subject. This is the first (TECHNICAL) mailing list that I have come across where people try to prove their INTELLIGENCE by insulting others.
Its strange that there are rules governing the length of article, but no rules followed to protect the emotional values of posters.
Actually the entire bunch here are emotionless robots. Hence they are competent to disqualify themselves from framing emotional rules. Consequently rules are boring stuff about line lengths, top, bottom, etc. Lucky nobody included strange and charm alongwith 42.
