Even if we don't always speak up,  most of us are still around here, 
some of us are just getting a little busy...  I have been active on this 
list for ~10 Years.

Yep, that is why Linux geeks tend to be a community rather than "customers".

I still remember all of the jokes about Keith, IIRC you originally were 
posting from the "christianexchange" domain.  A lot of jokes were going 
around about that, "If he's from the Christian Exchange, can we convince 
them to Exchange him for another Christian?", but it was all in good 
fun, you learned a heck of a lot, and you have given a lot back to the 
community.

I think the only person that has ever been banned from the list for any 
reason is Bowie, for self explanitory reasons.

Well... It this type of off topic discussion drives someone off, they 
really are not going to get too far (think of an H2 with a gallon of 
gas).  Geeks can be odd people, even more so online than in real life, 
and you can either deal with them or not.

Thank god my wife can deal with me being a geek <grin>.
