Well, if you weren't offended and you have such a great sense of humor, I obviously wasn't talking to or about you, was I?<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
FYI: Jesux was a fake Linux distro thought up in 1999 by Chris 'pudge' Nandor, a committed Christian (with a great sense of humor) who is my friend and coworker. He is responsible for much of the Perl code behind NewsForge. (Thinking of Perl, Larry Wall also qualifies as "Christian with great sense of humor, doesn't he?)
Also FYI: I "jumped on the Linux bandwagon" in 1997, long before most "non-technical" people considered it a viable desktop OS, and I have used Linux full-time for all my work since 1998. I tend to be a Linux and open source advocate rather than objective, and make no bones about it. However, NewsForge happily runs commentary that espouses multiple viewpoints; if you want to write a piece about how free software ideals and Christian ideals work together, we would be proud to run it. Or another direction is fine, as long as your thoughts are clear and you don't personally insult other readers.
But you'd have to sign your name instead of calling others "clueless" from behind the cloak of anonymity.
In any case, happy Halloween, and thanks for your input!
