[GRLUG] Hostile Attitudes

[Justin Popa]

I really don't care that a guy asked a Windows question in the group. Sure,
it's a Linux group but we all know how to diagnose Windows(I think?).
Anyway, he was pointed to where he should go, and that we really can't give
him the help he needs. Aside from that, as Tim said, we didn't have enough
information anyway. But whatever, reading email after email of that I could
care less if we were hostile or not.

Side note:

When did half demons become professors? o_O
