	This is nonsense.  Whenever I  forced to do something, or worse yet, 
prevented from doing something by a consensus of incompetent 
individuals, I have every right to complain.

	Your saying so does not make it so.  The simple fact is a solution 
which works for 100,000 people is superior to that which only serves 500 
people, *PROVIDED* the 500 are included in the 100,000.  Very, very few 
distros fail to provide the find utility.  It just does not get any more 
universal.

	I *NEVER* suggested anyone should not have the right to ask a question. 
  Indeed, everyone should be encouraged to ask questions.  Everyone is 
also entitled to an opinion and to express it.

	Your "fact" is in error.

	There is no such word - or concept - as irrespectful.  The point you 
were apparently trying to make, however, is just completely wrong.  I, 
and anyone else, have every right to reserve my respect from whomever I 
choose.  Respect is *EARNED*. It is not a right and it is not a 
privilege.  Until someone does earn respect, there is no reason anyone 
should afford it them.  It is utterly ridiculous to think everyone 
deserves respect.  If it is afforded to everyone, then it becomes 
totally worthless.
