I for one find it VERY appropriate. My job is to manage a VAX, a load of Sun 
workstations, Macs and PCs, and to support around 100 users at my site. The 
attitudes of certain hard- and software companies make my job harder (put 
mildly) than it has to be and anyone in my position should be grateful about 
being told how companies they plan to do business with treat their customers. If 
the company in question sells Unix, well then it IS relevant to those of us who 
might need Unix to get X up and running on our boxes.

If anyone should mind getting mail like that, well, do what I do when I get the 
ususal 50 xpert mail messages every day about programming which has ZERO 
interest to me - hit <delete>. I don't mind at all - a lot of the rest of the 
xpert mail has been of great use to me.

Finally, to the ones of you who DO send flames over the net - please do the 
decent thing and include your names and e-mail addresses in your messages..:-)
