Peter already admitted he was lying:

  Snit:
    -----
    It comes down to this: Linux has no such feature...
    -----
    
 Peter, in the SAME reply to that text:
    -----
    It has.
    -----
So he claims it does, but he also admits in his next sentence
    -----
    In the print dialg there is just no selection where to send it.
    -----
Keep in mind, the ability to send the PDF to where you wish is the EXACT
feature in discussion. The one he just said Linux has... but now admits it
does not!

Then in his next sentence he makes it clear he KNOWS Linux does not have the
feature he claimed it had:
    -----
    Which could very easily be added if someone thought it might be
    useful.
    -----
So he flat out lied when he claimed Linux has the same feature. It is not
that he thought it did and was wrong, he KNOWS it does not and that it would
have to be added if someone wanted it.

But the open source ecosystem is too fragmented to make adding of such
features anything other than a nightmare.

Peter then puts the feature down with his typical sour grapes nonsense... of
Linux does not have it (even though he claims it does!) then it is not
needed.
