    Has ANYONE here said anything about allegiance to SCO? I don't
    think so; in fact, I've pointed out that my interest in SCO was
    simply because it was a good business opportunity: oodles of
    customers abandoned by their original resellers and ignored
    as unimportant by SCO themselves. I suspect that most of
    the SCO consultants/resellers here have similar feelings or
    experiences. Unlike the rabid Linux fans, this is just business
    to most of us.

    But in spite of the absence of any SCO team spirit, the Linzeals
    still try to convince themselves that we MUST be "pro sco", must
    have some emotional involvement with the OS or the company.

    And that's probably partly responsible for their frustration and
    anger. They want to pick a fight about whose OS can piss farther,
    and none of us particularly care.
