Respect is something both earned and deserved, and when meeting for the first time, I give everyone 100% right of the bat. From then on, it rests on the individual concerned. Of course the Internet is the great equalizer, yet common courtesy is still high on my list of personal values, just as my mother taught me.
I took a good deal of time and effort in writing and re-writing my previous post so as to present my ideas with clarity and fairness, in response to "Moving Forward". I may well have failed to do that, but I find no place in such a forum topic for insults and sarcasm, I am no more a Linspire fanboy, than you are Bill Gates' Bum Boy! I feel like a politician that was deliberately misquoted or misunderstood, but those are my insecurities and shall remain my own as they equally have no place here on this thread.
So if I wasn't clear before.... I LIKE LINUX, I LOVE DSL!!!
I could download the current.iso, order a bunch of business card Cd's and setup my own little production line right here in Berlin, Germany. And nobody would know the difference, and even if you did, exactly how much money do you have in order to take me to court.
You see my point!
That is of course NOT what I want to do. What I want is to order from the DSL website multiples of let's say 100 Biz card Cd's, but at a reduced price. This will reduce profit, but increase turnover. Somehow I don't really think I need to explain this to you, you are, simply because of your presence here, intelligent people.
Who was it that said...
"If I met bill gates, we'd have nothing to say to each other. He couldn't teach me anything about computers, and I couldn't teach him anything about marketing!"
My post was based on the $1 challenge. I don't have a job and therefore have no money to simply give away. But still I would like to compensate the developers of DSL the best way I know how. And a little intelligent marketing could go a long, long way to helping Robert and the rest of the team in working full time. "And then imagine what could happen to our little Linux project!"
Robert! By way of showing my personal commitment, I will translate into German all texts sent to me, so that a German version of dsl can be released in the future.
I have no more to give... Take it or leave it!
