If I say:

"I know English. I have nothing against other languages, but I was born American and that's what I know."

No one bats an eye. No one tells me that English sucks, or that I should get a "real" language like German or Swedish.

If I say:

I'm an NT guy. I have nothing against other O/S's, NT is what I know.

I usually get negative responses outside the monastary. Sometimes it means keeping my NT passport hidden and dressing like a Viking. Other times, I'm looking for help on issues specific to NT, and I can't remember who the NT folk are.

If we could get a Primary O/S listed on the home nodes, it would be much easier to find people who are familiar with NT issues than doing a supersearch on "NT".

Maybe I should start a list on my home node, but I don't want to include anyone that doesn't want to opt in.

So, If you want to be listed in the mean time, /msg me.
