[luau] WordPerfect for Linux

[R. Scott Belford]

Wayne,

Please allow me to reply and ask that you show greater respect for 
Warren.  Your newness to this group denies you the knowledge that Warren 
Togami has been more instrumental to the mass adoption of open source 
software than any other human I know.  His tireless (and thankless) 
efforts to answer nearly any tedious question posted to this group has 
earned him great reverence.  Your request that he not express his ideas 
to this newsgroup is VERY unwelcome.  As you can read from Warren's 
response to your flame, he is more than willing to help be a part of 
this solution that you seek.  This is how a man thinks and responds to 
such taunts.  Having Warren assist you and other WP8 users will be to 
your advantage.  Your condescending and uninformed comments admonishing 
Warren to refrain from his insights are inappropriate at best.  You will 
find a wealth of assistance here if you take the time to learn who your 
allies are.  Please keep the tone more civil in future posts.

Sincerely,

R. Scott Belford
