I appreciate your kind words.
The problem is that the GBTI issue has not been an "every now and again" matter. I do it a lot, when no one else realizes it, and there probably has been other cases where someone has noticed it and just not said anything to me about it. I consider bgalbrecht to have done me a favor bringing it up.
I, myself, get frustrated with a person (unless I know that there's something mentally wrong with them), when I tell them something, they acknowledge that they heard it and understood it, and then turn around right after that and do something that shows that they either weren't paying attention or didn't really understand it, as they said that they did. I can't fault bgalbrecht.
Oh, and the reason that I didn't make a post of the current Packt freebie had nothing to do with this issue. It's just that it was too esoteric, IMHO. Many people know what Linux is, but the matters that the book discussed about Linux were things that it seems to be that only an elite few would understand or have use for. I'll check Packt again after a new free ebook has been posted after
7 p.m. tonight.
