What is "GPL"....???

Tom Pabst's joke 'What is GPL?' post

Tom Pabst posted asking what GPL was, then said he was testing how many newcomers would answer. Some found it funny, while Mitch_A, Jone Tytlandsvik and Raymond Day attacked him for it. Goy Larsen called the reaction overblown.

I'd say that's pretty good going compared to the 'other' GPL ;-) Malc.

Really Tom, I don't get this whole thread. I mean what are you fishin for? Do you feel so superior that you would need to fish for newbies? Does it make you feel good to belittle someone that may come here needing help and never heard of GPL? GPL does stand for other things also. Its just known on this NG as the Sim. Maybe you were bored? Or drinking? Some just like to stir the shit with some firewater in em, ya know hehe.. It just struck me odd I guess.

I suspect that Tom isn't trolling for newbies, he's trolling for people who don't know who he is. First impressions are so important, aren't they Tom? ;-) Malc.
well maybe so, but ppl like Ash, Dave, Scott, and the others who decided that they would just ignore this, thought that even if it was in bad taste, they wouldnt take out their sorrows and frustration on someone who has made mistakes in the past... if you dont agree, just ignore it, ok? o, btw, i have had a few drinks, but i'm still not in the mood for a drunken brawl, which it seems you lot are...

Oh for crying out loud, I'm all for giving Tom a hard time when he does something stupid, but although I can't see the humor in this thread, it was at least totally harmless Tom will post something sooner or later that will anger people, so relax, you'll all get another opportunity, I may even join you, but this is silly Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
