(put that in their because ryan had suggested tor in an old post (not saying anything bad about ryan so please don't be offended, only trying to point out that tor provides privacy and it is fresh in my mind) and while tor is neat and helping our government is good, i can't handle the latency nor do i encrypt my stuff as i have lost too much stuff from hard drive errors (no i don't use raid as i am poor. simple hard drive backup on occasion and family photos get saved off site ever 6 months or so.) so i don't use it. I feel like i need to explain myself so no one assumes terrible things about me. surely, it isn't out of line to assume that you don't know what you are talking about or how to spell privacy instead of piracy. honestly, neither make any sense other than as a means to beat someone down. <br class=""><br class="">and for those of you who let this man abuse a fellow tclug user; shame on you... stand up to cyber bullying or people will think that it is alright and will escalate to the point that a list will go from 15 or so emails a day to 1 or 2 a week which mostly contain dissention; not all of which is good. that is where all the newbies have gone . This list is now for questions in which you are passionate enough about to push through the BS. <br class=""><br class=""></div>i hope the list that you were invited to has a chance to flourish and grow. Hopefully, we can get more people interested in linux and maintain their interest with positive discussions and support. or not, whatever just don't let people be abusive and get away with it on either list. please.<br class=""><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 16, 2016 at 4:35 PM, Sandwhich Eyes <span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:sandwhicheyes@gmail.com" target="_blank" class="">sandwhicheyes@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div class="">TCLUG is an incredible entity.
