I have to say althogh he may not act so "experienced" when facing problems,
 I still like guys like David, about his passion in pursuing Linux
deployment in layer offices. I still remember somebody said when David came
to this ML the first time that "this guy makes this mailing list more active
rather than silent as it doesn't exist at all".

We need voices, if you don't like some just ignore them. Provided they are
not spam of course.
