Eric,
Following up on your banter towards Zaman's post earlier, I was wondering,
what is your point really?
You said:
*Nice, another ad for helpdesk. How is that going to further our
promotion of FOSS?*
First and foremost, what is wrong with working as a Helpdesk? Can you not
promote FOSS while at the same time working as a Helpdesk? Even a cook can
promote FOSS(If they really want to, of course)
Nothing wrong, clean and honest job, but how does that benefit FOSS? I
cannot say whether I know many cooks who can do FOSS, but it would be
awesome if they could.
I, myself have 2-3 friends who used to be helpdesk a while ago are
now
working as a System Engineer in MNC's company and even one of them are
starting his own IT-related business.
Good for them/him.
and ... After all, we need to start somewhere do we?*
Indeed we do.
*You said:*
I am sorry but you are putting out an ad to support proprietary
software in a FOSS mailing list. Do not expect to be treated kindly!*
He was merely advertising a vacancy in his company where he works, I did not
see any logos or words that he said supporting proprietary software as you
mentioned?
Indeed I jumped the gun on that. I have spoken to T-Systems people and
they were adamant that they only do Windows. As I replied earlier on
the thread, the Managers I spoke to during my interview did not
inspire confidence either.
Yes we are promoting FOSS, but, we do it the healthy way. I don't
want to
slap my friend just because he uses Microsoft office instead of Open office.
You don't need to slap him/her unless there is mutual consent.

I do admit I was git when I replied to his initial post. No excuses. I
was possibly in a bad mood and in retrospect I should have worded it
better. But possibly I lost it when he made assumptions of my
intelligence and degenerated to name calling.
