Don’t email me…

…if this is the sort of email you're intending to send:

Subject: I had no idea that hot girls liked linux
Body: Are there more of you? I mean how does that happen? How does a good looking female put off their social life to the point where they can actually use ubuntu without ripping their eyes out?

Seriously, I don't want to hear it. Just think about it for one minute. What does appearance have to do with technical ability? Why do all the good looking men involved in K/X/Ubuntu put time into their favourite distro that could otherwise be spent on their social life? My answer's not going to be any different than theirs! And for that matter, why should it be social life or Ubuntu? Consider that many of the developers are friends with each other.

Also, isn't that being a little mean to Ubuntu? I mean, yeah, it's not as awesome as Kubuntu, but.…still… (joking!)

And yes, that's an actual email I received today. Ugh. Including his name and email address here is /very/ tempting, but it'd also be unethical, so I won't.
