Perhaps you should check a mirror frankie. Where did the vulgarity in this
thread come from anyway??

To a very great extent the reception one recieves in Linux groups is based
on the tone of the querie. Like begets like.

is it possible to control the personalized icons? you know what I mean?

found a way to do that yet in gaim.

He thinks he's being clever and cute. Little does he realize that the
way he posts only reveals what a foolish buffoon he is.

I have found that all my queries in the various Linux groups were
replied very well and not with "Google it" or "RTFM" like happens so
many times in MS groups.

A troll is a troll is a troll. You're a linux troll.
Perhaps you and the few other linux trolls who inhabit this ng need to
face that reality and live with and suffer the consequences.

You need to get the last word in don't you? As if that somehow absolves
you of all the lies and FUD you constantly spread.
You're actually one sick person!

Tsk tsk tsk.. topposting....

I knew this was coming... Big-name companies just try to rid the
software world of all their acronyms. I bet if I made something that
uses the initials A I M and called it aim, AOL will probably force me to
change too.

Just hope people understand there's a change. The UI is a little
different, but still close enough to gaim that you know what's what.

Makes you wonder who would win the court battle between AOL and
the company that makes Aim (the toothpaste). The toothpaste had been out
at least a decade or two before AOL came into existence as Promenade.
