Hi Aaron

What I meant was (and nothing personal):  .NET is from Microsoft, also 
called Microsh*t, Microshaft, M$, The Beast, etc.  Supporting .NET is a 
way of encouraging their attempts at taking over the internet.  Some 
people feel strongly about that, and that includes many Linux and other 
Unix people, and anyone who values fair use and "personal computing" as 
well...
