   Indeed that was the case and I did not wish to imply otherwise.

   Usually when somebody is accused of being some type of "phobe"   
   or other, they do not exhibit "crippling fear" though.   
      
   Maybe it is time to put an embargo on the non-medical use   
   of the term "phobe"?

   True, and the problem with Linux is that one cannot become   
   part of a Botnet yet.   
      
   > I am not so fanatic as to think it is the perfect answer (yet).   
      
   There is no perfect answer and there never will be.   
      
   All OSes are imperfect because they are made by imperfect people.
