:-) Maybe I should've thought through your statement a bit more before 
responding to it. Anyway, my approach is always to speak very directly to an 
issue in order to clear up any misunderstanding right up front.

I prefer to not make that assumption ever, especially sionce all that might end 
up doing is poisoning our relationship with them. I don't care what any 
company's initial attitude is. My position is that we're here to help them get 
more customers by doing a quality job in adding support for their products. My 
motivation is to maximize a Linux user's individual choice regarding which 
device he'd truly prefer to be using.

We appreciate your vote of confidence! :-)

Hey! It's not as if I haven't responded far too hastily with carelessly chosen 
words more than once myself. It happens to all of us. The real problem is when 
someone thinks that he/she is above doing those sorts of things.
