One thing that struck me as I read it today was the email from Africa.

If you folks had any real interest in folks like that Ubuntu would not be one of the hardest Linux OS’ to connect to dialup.

Perhaps you should try building your “ethos” instead of forging it. I am, among other things, a pretty fair Blacksmith. Ethos is not something you “forge” in the meaning you imply.

Forge as in forgery, I could now admit may be the truth.
