I rarely (if ever, although the experience based on just a handful) get a
response to pro-Linux feedback that I send to correspondents. One of the
things that make me most furious is lack of attribution of trouble to
platforms. In the case of spam and zombie attacks, this has become
detrimental. The public need to be better informed and educated in order
for better judgment to be practiced.
Best wishes,
Roy
